For You are my God

For you are my God.  You alone are my joy;
Defend me, O Lord

You give marvelous comrades to me;
The faithful who dwell in your land;
Those who choose alien gods
have chosen an alien band

For you are my God.  You alone are my joy;
Defend me, O Lord

You are my portion and cup;
It is You that I claim for my prize.
Your heritage is my delight;
That lot You have given to me

For you are my God.  You alone are my joy;
Defend me, O Lord

Glad are my heart and my soul;
Securely my body shall rest.
For You will not leave me for dead;
Nor lead your beloved astray
(Refrain)

For you are my God.  You alone are my joy;
Defend me, O Lord

You show me the path for my life;
In your presence the fullness of JOY.
To be at your right hand forever
For me would be happiness always
(Refrain)
