In the Keep

In the Keep
Lord guard me, Lord keep me, Lord clad me in armor
Lord lock me away in the heavenly vaults
Lord take me securely away from the monsters
Lord hide me inside of your heavenly heart

Lord keep me beside you, I’ll try to be humble
Lord bind me to you and protect all my thoughts
Lord watch o’er my family, don’t let anyone harm them
Remind me the real war’s already been fought

Lord remind me of my worth from your unique perspective
Help me move past my tendency to sort it all out
Lord grant me strength to shrug off internal temptation
Lord help me do your will ispite of my doubt

When I’m wandering away from the blanket of blessing
Lord gather me back to your pastures of green
When I worry about our provision and clothing
Lord robe me in linens, spotless and clean

Lord help me ignore any false accusations
Lord be my wisdom when I cannot decide
Take my life and give it an eternal purpose
Lord save me, my savior, in you I confide

Lord teach me to stand up against those who oppose me
When they push me around like bully in school
Help me focus on rising above ‘down and dirty’
Lord shut my mouth before I speak like a fool

Lord thank you for giving me love everlasting
Lord thank you for keeping my name in your book
Lord thank you for pulling me up out of danger
When I fall in every crevice and crook

Lord guard me, Lord keep me, Lord clad me in armor
Lord lock me away in the heavenly vaults
Lord take me securely away from the monsters
Lord hide me inside of your heavenly heart

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
