You gave me hope when I was broken
You took me in when I was forsaken
I'm alone, and i have only my Lord
Only you can save me. You're my shield and sword
In you alone, I find peace, and my foot finds rest
Who can condemn me? Not one is righteous
Where is the teacher and the wise man? He is a fool
He lives in simplicity by a golden rule
Help me see and meditate on you.
You are the light of life, and you are true
Help me to understand and obey
Your law is on my heart, and thus, i pray
If i fail, please forgive and help your servant
My heart is contrite and fervent
I am thankful for the lamp that you lit
You are a warm fire for my weary spirit
