My Father Watches Over Me

Verse 1

I trust in God wherever I may be, Upon the land or on the rolling sea; For come what may, from day to day, My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Chorus

I trust in God, I know he cares for me, On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Though billows roll, he keeps my soul, My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Verse 2

He makes the rose an object of his care, He guides the eagle through the pathless air; And surely he remembers me, My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Verse 3

I trust in God, for, in the lion's den, On battlefield, or in the prison pen; Through praise or blame, through flood or flame, My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Verse 4

The valley may be dark, the shadows deep, But oh, the shepherd guards his lonely sheep; And through the gloom, he'll lead me home, My heav'nly Father watches over me.
