May the good lord keep you

May the good lord keep you
wrapped up in his arms
let him hold you
and protect you from all the worlds harms

may the good lord keep you
from birth until death
let him bless you
and thank him for your every breath

may the good lord keep you
and watch you grow
while hes watches out for danger
everywhere you go

may the good lord keep you
from all the bad things
let him surround you
with everything that life brings

may the good lord keep you
from young to old
let him teach you
and listen to everything your being told

may the good lord keep you
from morning until night
let him know you love him
and that everything is all right

may the good lord keep you
forever and forever
tell him every night
that you will leave him, never
