4. Song of Ascent
Written for Vicky Kunz
Psalm 121
I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from?
Where does my help come from?
Every hill and every mountain, I look over them all
Oh, look at all the stars in all the heavens and over all the earth
Oh I know, I know, I know the one who made it, who made it, who made it all
I’ll never let your foot slip, I’ll watch you I’ll never slumber
Oh I, I will never sleep
I’ll be the shade at your right hand when the sun is beating down,
Oh I’ll be the moon, I’ll be your moon
Oh, look at all the stars in all the heavens and over all the earth
Oh I know, I know, I know the one who made it, who made it, who made it all
I will watch over your coming and your going forever
I will watch over your coming and your going forever
Oo, I know what you’re going, I know what you’re going through
Oo, I’m holding, holding you
Your song of ascent is rising to my ears
I hear and I know
Like the water from the hills, your love is running down
I’ll keep you from all harm
Oh, look at all the stars in all the heavens and over all the earth
Oh I know, I know, I know the one who made it, who made it, who made it all
I will watch over your coming and your going forever
I will watch over your coming and your going forever
Oo, I know what you’re going, I know what you’re going through
Oo, I’m holding, holding you
I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from?
Where does my help come from?
