Lord

How many rise

Many foes surround my soul

They say no help for him in God

But You are near

My shield

You lift my head

You hear my cry

From Your holy mountain high

I lie down

I sleep

I wake again

For You sustain my days

For You sustain my days

Lord sustain me

Lord sustain me

Sustain my days

For You sustain my days
