In the still of the morning when I open God's Word With a yearning for my soul to be stirred He talks to me through that Book of Old His words more precious than silver or gold He sends me out in-to the world With strength to face another day I know down deep that my sinful heart On its own would go astray On its own would go so far astray The Lord is my Sheppard, I shall not want My refuge and my confidant He protects me from the devil's charms Wraps me in his loving arms He sends me out in-to the world With strength to face another day I know down deep that my sinful heart On its own would go astray On its own would go so far astray The Holy Spirit lives inside of me My compa** when I'm lost at sea He walks with me, my daily guide Points me back to heaven and away from my pride He sends me out in-to the world With strength to face another day I know down deep that my sinful heart On its own would go astray On its own would go so far astray
