And I Will Keep You

Is it not you who lives within,
my guide to do that which is right ?
Yet, how many times have I fallen to sin,
thus walking away from the Light ?

Still, You are He who bids us,"Come,
come and walk with Me further on.
It is ever sins stain that I lift you from
and I will keep you in the Way I have gone."

O Jesus, ever You are to me
the Light in a world so dark.
Ever the One to set hearts free
for your Light has left it's mark
