V5

[Verse 1] Keep me, O God— I’m hiding in Your quiet light. You are my Lord, my only good, my late-night guide. I won’t chase ghosts, false fires burning out my eyes; their sorrows grow— I won’t sip their crooked wine. [Pre-Chorus] I set You always before me, You’re at my right hand in the night— I won’t be shaken, won’t be shaken. [Chorus] You show me the path of life, and in Your presence I’m alive. Fullness of joy, like dawn in my lungs, at Your right hand, pleasures that never die— evermore, evermore. [Verse 2] You are my portion, my cup that overflows with peace. You hold my lot; the lines fall where the gardens breathe. Pleasant places, a quiet field that carries me, an inheritance that no dark hour can ever steal. [Pre-Chorus] I set You always before me, You’re at my right hand in the night— I won’t be shaken, won’t be shaken. [Chorus] You show me the path of life, and in Your presence I’m alive. Fullness of joy, like dawn in my lungs, at Your right hand, pleasures that never die— evermore, evermore. [Bridge] You counsel me at midnight, Your whisper steadies bones and breath; You won’t abandon my soul to the shadows— the Holy One outran decay, and now my flesh can rest. [Chorus] You show me the path of life, and in Your presence I’m alive. Fullness of joy, like dawn in my lungs, at Your right hand, pleasures that never die— evermore (evermore), evermore. [Outro] Soft neon sky on my eyelids, pleasant places in my chest; I breathe Your name between the beats, and everything is blessed.
