MY PRECIOUS LORD

How precious my Lord

He has made me whole

He took away my sins

He sustains my soul.

He took away my loneliness

He has set me free

He guides me through each day

He watches over me.

He will never give to me

More than I can bear

Through trials and tribulations

I know that He is there.

If I should fall along the way

As I sometimes do ----

He will pick me up and say,

"My child, I am here with you."

How precious is my Lord

For He has ransomed me ----

He paid the price with His own blood

He died to set me free.

No matter what my future holds

No matter where I roam ----

When my life on earth is ended,

My Lord will take me home.

Where I will dwell in glory

With Him ---- forever more

And we'll all be reunited ----

When we reach that distant shore.
