GC 24 - Marty Haugen
Lyrics
Refrain:
You are my inheritance, O Lord.
You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Verse1
Faithful God, I look to you, you alone my life and fortune,
never shall I look to other gods, you shall be my one hope.
never shall I look to other gods, you shall be my one hope.
Verse 2
From of old you are my heritage, you my wisdom and my safety,
through the night you speak within my heart, silently you teach me.
through the night you speak within my heart, silently you teach me.
Verse 3
So my heart shall sing for joy, in your arms I rest securely,
you will not abandon me to death, you shall not desert me.
you will not abandon me to death, you shall not desert me.
