To you, I turn, O Sovereign One,
To plead that I complete my run.
Beneath your wings I wish to flee;
Jehovah, hear my humble plea.
Renew my strength, I beg of you,
And help me be the man you view.
I will abide by your decree;
Jehovah, hear my humble plea.
Sustain my faith and courage, too,
While I await what will be new—
A paradise where death won't be.
Jehovah, hear my humble plea.
O God, please help me see your ways
And guide my steps on darkened days,
Or when I fall and bruise my knee.
Jehovah, hear my humble plea.
I do recall the vow I made,
And it will not remain unpaid.
I will not join the roaring sea;
Jehovah, hear my humble plea.
Each night, I bare my heart in prayer,
Acknowledging the sins I bear.
I do believe you care for me
And that you'll hear my humble plea.
