[Verse 1] Guard my mind, God, keep it clear, Keep my heart in light, keep darkness far from here. Guard the flame that burns within, Love remains the ground I’m standing in. [Verse 2] Guard my deep heart, let me feel, When others fall, teach me to share what’s real. Guard my sight, keep my vision wide, In giving, let true joy reside. [Chorus] God, guard me when I fall, When the weight comes crashing through it all. Between the concrete and the signs, Your hand still carries this face of mine. God, guard me through the night, When the city makes me hungry for the fight. Through every noise, through every divide, Be my road, my shelter, be my guide. [Verse 3] Guard my path, God, guard my plan, When no one sees where I can stand. Guard the courage in my stride, I’ll keep walking, I won’t step aside. [Verse 4] Guard my gentle voice and tone, Let humor heal, not cut like stone. Guard my honest laugh and let it ring, Bring them joy, not ruin everything. [Chorus] God, guard me when I fall, When the weight comes crashing through it all. Between the concrete and the signs, Your hand still carries this face of mine. God, guard me through the night, When the city makes me hungry for the fight. Through every noise, through every divide, Be my road, my shelter, be my guide. [Verse 5] Guard, O God, the ones I love, Bless them richly, whatever comes. Guard their little kingdom there, Make their roads turn gold and carry them with care. [Verse 6] Guard my strength to live each day, When the ordinary wears me away. Guard my energy, let it rise, So I can stand and not sink to my knees. [Bridge] In every tear that falls down here, In every battle I face with fear, Be the light along the distant shore, Draw me back to your hand once more. [Verse 7] Guard those outside who weep alone, Make their hearts strong, give them a home. Guard their hope throughout the night, Be the fire that wakes their light. [Final Chorus] God, guard me when I fall, When the weight comes crashing through it all. Between the concrete and the signs, Your hand still carries this face of mine. God, guard me through the night, When the city makes me hungry for the fight. Through every noise, through every divide, Be my road, my shelter, be my guide. [Outro] Guard my heart, anchor it in you, Here I find the safety I hold to. When all is burning, no one speaks, Be my pulse, my inner light, through every week.
