O THE WORD OF MY LORD

Refrain:\nO the word of my Lord, deep within my being\nO the word of my Lord, you have filled my mind.\nBefore I formed you in the womb, I knew you through and through,\nI chose you to be mine.\nBefore you left your mother’s side, I called to you my child,\nTo be my sign.\n2. I know that you are very young, but I will make you strong.\nI’ll fill you with my word.\nAnd you will travel through the land, fulfilling my command\nWhich you have heard.\n3. And ev’rywhere you are to go, my hand will follow you;\nYou will not be alone.\nIn all the danger that you fear, you’ll find me very near,\nYour word my own.\n4. With all my strength you will be filled; you will destroy and build\nFor that is my design.\nYou will create and overthrow, reap harvests I will sow\nYour word is mine.
