Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep me safe, my God, my refuge true
You are my Lord, no good apart from You
The holy ones, the noble in the land
They are my delight, in them my heart will stand
But those who chase false gods will sorrow know
Their blood I’ll never pour, their names I’ll never sow

[Chorus ]
You alone, Lord, are my portion and my cup
You make my lot secure, You lift me up
The boundary lines fall in pleasant places here
A delightful inheritance, forever near
I’ll praise the One who counsels through the night
My eyes stay fixed on You, at Your right hand I’m right

[Verse 2]
So my heart is glad, my tongue will now rejoice
My body rests secure in Your strong voice
You will not leave my soul in realm of death
Nor let Your faithful one decay beneath the breath

Chorus]
You alone, Lord, are my portion and my cup
You make my lot secure, You lift me up
The boundary lines fall in pleasant places here
A delightful inheritance, forever near
I’ll praise the One who counsels through the night
My eyes stay fixed on You, at Your right hand I’m right

[Bridge]
You make known the path of life to me
In Your presence joy runs wild and free
Eternal freedom at Your right hand
Forever I will stand

[Chorus]
You alone, Lord, are my portion and my cup
You make my lot secure, You lift me up
The boundary lines fall in pleasant places here
A delightful inheritance, forever near
I’ll praise the One who counsels through the night
My eyes stay fixed on You—at Your right hand I’m right
At Your right hand I’m right
