1-2. Keep me safe, O God,I’ve run for dear life to you.I say to God, “Be my Lord!”Without you, nothing makes sense.
3. And these God-chosen lives all around—what splendid friends they make!
4. Don’t just go shopping for a god.Gods are not for sale.I swear I’ll never treat god-nameslike brand-names.
5-6. My choice is you, God, first and only.And now I find I’m your choice!You set me up with a house and yard.And then you made me your heir!
11. Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,all radiant from the shining of your face.Ever since you took my hand,I’m on the right way.
