For You Are My God

For you are my God
You alone are my joy,
defend me oh 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 oh lord.
You are my portion and cup
it is you that I claim for my prize
your heritage is my delight
the lot you have given to me.
For you are my God
you alone are my joy,
defend me oh lord.
Glad are my heart and my soul
securely my body shall rest
for you will not leave me for dead
nor leave your beloved astray.
For you are my God
You alone are my joy
defend me oh 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!
For you are my God
You alone are my joy
defend me oh lord.
For you are my God
You alone are my joy
defend me oh lord.
