Keep me as the apple of your eye,
Hide me in the shadow of your wings,
Listen, listen, Father, to my cry,
My weeping may last a night.

Joy comes in the morning,
You are my light,
Joy comes in the morning,
You are my light.

Break the fangs of the serpent that entangles my heart,
I see the goal; give me strength to start,
So many are dust the wind blows away,
My heart, mind and soul, at your feet I lay.

What is man'
Why do you care'
Where can I go that you aren't there'

The grass, it withers,
The flowers, they fade, but you words go on forever,
The grass, it withers,
The flowers, they fade, but you, my Lord, go on forever and ever, and ever,
Ever and ever, and ever.

What is man'
Why do you care'
Where can I go that you aren't there'

What is man'
Why do you care'
Where can I go that you aren't there'
