You Are Never Going to Leave Me

You promised that You’re never gonna leave me,
Not for a moment left alone am I,
You are the power that forever holds me,
I know You'll be with me until I die.

You're never going to forget my name,
You cross with me through mountains and the sea,
I'll never taste death with its grimmer game,
With You on my side forever I will be.

With You, I walk my path in every morning,
With You, I watch the sky throughout the night,
When You rebuke, I feel Your loving warning,
And when You're happy I'll rest in Your delight.

You're never going to forget my name,
You shine in me forever like a star,
You filled my soul with hope's eternal flame,
My King, My Friend, My Savior, Lord You are!

My many sins were flowing like a river,
But Your Salvation's Blood has made me clean,
By faith, I was forgiven in an instant,
Since then, a New Creation, I have been.

I'm happy even when I have to suffer,
Through painful waves and through so many storms,
A water lily that's floating on water,
Kept safe by Your divine, fatherly warms.

I thank You for Your constant presence, Father,
I thank You for Your everlasting love.
In You, I have a Name and all the power,
Because I am in You, and You are God.
