My Lord Is There

Representative Text

1 I walk each day rejoicing,
Tho’ heavy loads I bear,
For in the shine or shadow
My Lord is there.

Refrain:
There’s a Friend that never leaves me night or day;
He will lead me on my journey all the way;
Tho’ my path be rough and steep,
Tho’ the dark’ning shadows creep,
I’ll not fear for He will keep me till the morning.

2 I love to tell the story
Of all His loving care;
Tho’ other friends may leave me
My Lord is there. [Refrain]

3 When life has told its story,
In yonder land so fair
I know that I shall meet Him,
My Lord is there! [Refrain]
