"Dear Sweet Lord"

My father
I sit here as your daughter
In my room
with you alone
holding to
what I've always known

I've always known
You're there for me
my voice, my strength, my only key
To a life of praise for eternity
the light in the darkness surrounding me


Oh Lord in Heaven
My mighty King
Hear me as you heard David sing
Take your wing that spans for miles
shelter me from the Devil's wiles
Send rain when we're in need of it
Send rainbows we can never forget

Sometimes I'm afraid
Lord, hear my cry
Send angels near
Their swords swept high
Blind demons with your radiant light
Till they run back in the darkness,
full of fright


My King of Kings
Full of love and power
Be with me
Every waking hour

Hold my hand as I stumble through life,
pull me up when I suffer through strife
Call me back when I wander from you
Help me only to say whats true


Pick me up in the palm of your hand
and firmly on Jesus
Is where I'll stand
