Lyrics
Preserve me!
O God in thee, I put my trust.
Preserve me!
God, trust in thee I must.
O my soul!
I’ve said Lord, Thou art my Lord.
O my soul!
O my greatest good isn’t close to yours (I know).
verse
But to the saints,
Those throughout the earth,
and to the excellent,
in whom is droightful mirth.
If you choose another god as guide,
your sorrows will be multiplied.
The blood of false sacrifice I cannot offer,
I can’t speak of false gods; My lips won’t proffer.
The Lord, my rightful inheritance, I worsh-up.
The Lord is the goodly portion of my cup!
O Lord you maintain me where e’re I’m sent.
And you maintain me my lot that you lent!
The lines of life fell into place for me.
Yeah, I have a heritage precious, goodly.
I bless the wise Lord source of counsel and reason.
My reins even instruct me in the worst night seasons.
I have set the Lord, always before myself.
He’s my right hand, I’ll be unmoved, and be kept in health.
verse
Therefore my heart is glad,
so will my presence rejoice.
My flesh rests from fears I’ve had,
In hope will I now raise my voice!
Therefore my heart is glad,
so will my presence rejoice.
My flesh rests from fears I’ve had,
In hope will I now raise my voice!
Thou wilt not
Leave my soul in the grave;
Thou wilt not
Leave my soul in the grave;
Thou wilt not,
Let thy Holy One see corruption.
verse
For thou wilt show me the proper path.
And thy presence is the fulness of joy made sure.
In thy presence, I see love, not wrath
at thy right hand, there are pleasures forevermore.
Thou wilt not,
Leave my soul in the grave;
Thou wilt not,
Let thy Holy One see corruption.
Thou wilt not,
Leave my soul in the grave;
Thou wilt not,
Let thy Holy One see corruption.
