Do not leave me alone
In the darkness
For I will surely fall --
And this broken body
Is too frail to use.
I know only you!
Lead me beside
The still waters.

Do not leave me alone
In the desert
For I will surely die
For this parched soul
Cannot find water --
Cannot see the oasis ahead
I know only you!
Lead me to
Those lush green pastures.

Do not leave me alone
On the mountaintop
For I will surely lose my way
And this feeble brain
Will not remember the journey
I know only you!
Your word, my lamp.
Your voice, my light.
