I tell you now, "You are my Lord;
on you my happiness depends."
Refrain:
Protect me, God: I trust in you.
2 Your people are a chosen race,
and I delight in faithful friends,
but pagan ways I will not share. [Refrain]
3 LORD God, you are my food and drink;
my work for you is joy indeed;
glad is the heritage that's mine. [Refrain]
4 Thank you, my LORD, for warning me;
by night and day you guide my thoughts.
With you before me, I stand firm. [Refrain]
5 So now I'm glad in heart and soul,
for I have found security -
among the dead I shall not lie. [Refrain]
6 Not death, but life, shall be my path;
abundant joy your presence grants,
an honored place, and happiness. [Refrain ] Scripture: Psalm 16 Used With Tune: MEPHIBOSHETH
