Lyrics

O Lord, my God!
I will keep on thank­ing You—for­ev­er
O, Fa­ther!
O Lord, my God!
I will keep on thank­ing You—for­ev­er
O, Fa­ther!
You lift me up, You keep my ene­mies away.
My soul sings of your faith­ful­ness!
You’re my Foun­da­tion, Lord,
A rock that I can lean on.
Your Word will live for­ev­er­more!
I know, my Lord,
That You have ran­somed me from death.
O, help me ne­ver to forget!
Into Your hands
Do I com­mit my grate­ful spir­it,
With You I will not be afraid!
O, Lord, my God,
How You have filled my emp­ti­ness.
I’m like a stream, You’re like the rain.
O, Lord my God,
Now I can see Your plan for me—
Ev’rywhere I go, there You will be!
