Father I'm trusting in Your Care
You've promised to always be there
To see me through the darkest days
And keep me covered night and day

I depend on You to be my Hiding Place
To ever show me Your Sweet Grace
You are my Life and my Strength
The Breadth of it and the Length

Your Mercy is without depth or height
I seek Your Face as my Guiding Light
Through Your Word I see Your Ways
And desire to follow You all of my days

I turn from You now and then
But You're always close to draw me back in
In the Gentlest and most Merciful of ways
Asking only Your Love I should portray

It's Your Protection that I need
And for that I ever plead
Ease me back onto that narrow road
And Lord please carry this heavy load

I'm so weak but You're so Strong
You can carry me all the day long
So once again I ask of You
To hide me and to forgive me too
