[Intro – Soft Piano, Atmospheric] Lord… Receive my song as an offering… Teach me Your laws… [Verse 1] I have sworn and kept my word, To follow Your righteous laws. Though I have suffered greatly, Give me life, Lord, as You have said. [Pre-Chorus] When darkness falls around me, And the road is hard to walk, I will hold on to Your Word, For there I find my hope. [Chorus] Your statutes are my heritage forever, They are the joy within my heart. I have determined to follow Your decrees, Always, until the very end. I hate a divided heart, But I love Your law. You are my refuge and my shield, I place my hope in Your Word. [Verse 2] My life is constantly in danger, But I will never forget Your law. The wicked set their traps for me, But I will not turn away from Your commands. [Pre-Chorus] When the enemy draws near, And fear tries to take control, I will hold on to Your truth, For my hope, Lord, is in You. [Chorus] Your statutes are my heritage forever, They are the joy within my heart. I have determined to follow Your decrees, Always, until the very end. I hate a divided heart, But I love Your law. You are my refuge and my shield, I place my hope in Your Word. [Bridge – Powerful, Emotional Build] You are my refuge! You are my shield! When the world is shaking, I will stand. Your Word is the light upon my path, My strength when I am weak. I will follow You, Lord, Until the very end! I will hold on to Your Word, For my hope is found in You! [Final Chorus – Big Gospel / Worship] Your statutes are my heritage forever, They are the joy within my heart. I have determined to follow Your decrees, Always, until the very end. You are my refuge and my shield, I place my hope in Your Word! My hope in Your Word! My hope in Your Word! [Outro – Soft Piano] Lord… Teach me Your laws… You are my refuge and my shield… I place my hope in Your Word…
