[Verse 1] God, I've spent too many nights Trying to plan for every wrong Thinking if I stay prepared enough Nothing bad can come along But I can't watch every corner I can't control what people do There are things beyond my hands So I'm putting them with You [Pre-Chorus] I can use the wisdom You give me I can lock the door and make a plan But after I've done what I can do I have to let go of what I can't [Chorus] You're my protector When I can't see what's ahead You're my protector When worry follows me to bed You don't promise nothing hurts You don't tell me nothing will go wrong But whatever comes tomorrow I won't face it on my own You're my protector God, I know where I belong [Verse 2] You've been with me through moments I would never choose again Not always keeping trouble out But staying with me through the end And maybe that's the safety I was trying hard to find Not a life where nothing happens But knowing You won't leave my side [Bridge] Protect my heart from fear Protect my mind from living there Give me wisdom when I need it And peace when I've prepared [Final Chorus] You're my protector Not because nothing reaches me You're my protector Because You're here when trouble does I can breathe without pretending That I know what comes next I've done what I can today, Lord Tonight I'll let myself rest You're my protector And I am safe enough to rest
