[Solo]

If a host encamps against me,
If war should rise against,
In this my heart shall not fear
In this will I be confident.
Only one thing I desire of the Lord
Only one thing that I’ll seek after
That I may dwell all the days of my life
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

May I behold the beauty of the Lord?
Shall I inquire in his temple?
For in the time of trouble 
He shall hide me away in his pavilion
In the secret place of his tabernacle shall he hide me
Upon a rock, well, He shall set me

[Pre-chorus]
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me
Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer up, I will offer sacrifices of joy

[Chorus]
I will sing, Yeah, I will sing
Praises to the Lord.
I will sing, Yeah, I will sing
Praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord
When with my voice I cry
Have mercy also upon me
And answer me from on high.
When thou saidst “Seek ye my face”
My heart said unto thee, oh yeah hey, I say, “Thy face Lord, will I seek.
Hide not thy face far from me. Put not away thy servant in anger O God of my salvation."

[Solo]

My help thou hast been
Leave me not, nor forsake me there
O God of my salvation.
If my father forsake me, still the Lord will take me up.
And if my mother forsake me, still the Lord will take me up.
Thy way, O Lord, teach me
Lead me Lord, and guide me
In a plain path let me be
Because of mine enemies
Deliver me not over I beg
To the will of mine enemies
For false witnesses
Are risen up against me

[Solo]

And such as breathe 
out cruelty
I had fainted
Unless I had believed
To see the goodness
Of the Lord
In the land that is
Of the living.
Wait on the Lord!
Be of good courage

Wait on the Lord!
He shall strengthen thine heart
Wait, I say… Oh!
Wait, on the Lord!

[Chorus]
I will sing, Yeah, I will sing
Praises to the Lord.
I will sing, Yeah, I will sing
Praises to the Lord.
