My Father Watches Over Me

[Verse 1] I trust in God wherever I may be, Upon the land or on the rolling sea, For, come what may, from day today, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Chorus] I trust in God, -I know He cares for me, On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Tho' billows roll, He keeps my soul, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Verse 2] He makes the rose an object of His care, He guides the eagle thru the pathless air, And surely He remembers me,- My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Chorus] I trust in God, -I know He cares for me, On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Tho' billows roll, He keeps my soul, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Verse 3] I trust in God, for, in the lion's den, On battle field, or in the prison pen, Thru praise or blame, thru flood or flame, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Chorus] I trust in God, -I know He cares for me, On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Tho' billows roll, He keeps my soul, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Verse 4] The valley may be dark, the shadows deep, But O, the Shepherd guards His lonely sheep; And thru the gloom He'll lead me home, My heav'nly Father watches over me. [Chorus] I trust in God, -I know He cares for me, On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea; Tho' billows roll, He keeps my soul, My heav'nly Father watches over me.
