Guardian of My Soul

You look over me
You watch over me
Never turning away
Ever eyeful over me

Even as i go astray
And find my way
Once again
To the blessed fold

Is it all you record
Do you overlook some
Must you all see
Am still but a man

Forever its a struggle
Against the flesh
At times momentarily
I do fell them fluttering

Wrapped inside I
In this ball of flesh
Struggling to be free
To behold the light

Do you record all 
Do you overlook 
Mine transgressions
Am i fated to yet pay

Is there still hope
Oh mine guardian
Am i still cut off
From his presence

Yet i so desperately
Seek to behold
His majesty 
His redeeming light

Keep watch over me
O silent guardian
Forever mindful
He ordains my path
