He Protects Me

My Lord and Father, the great I AM, I ask you to heed my tears and fears To see me in my great distress, despair To lead me away from the enemy’s Evil chains and whips – plotting to take Away my joy and hope and inspiration Please protect me from the evil one, oh Lord You are the strong and mighty armor The one who guards my heart and soul You make a way where no way is shown And guide me through the pain and sorrow Into the joy and assurance of tomorrow You help me to overcome the storms And give me a chance to feel safe from harm I believe every word in your book, the Bible And ask you to cover me in your redeeming blood So that I have nothing to fear from the enemy Who goes to and fro, seeking whom he may devour I believe you will keep me safe from this foe Your endless grace reassures my trembling soul That your light will guide me through the darkness You are worthy of all my praise and adoration I love you from the depths of my soul and spirit You are wise and wonderful and a welcome help In times of trouble you cast your net of love around Covering me with your sweetest mercies and grace Reminding me that I am always loved beyond my sin More than I can ever hope to give back, you give to me. Thank you, dear heavenly Father – I love you always
