From the first to the last breath I breathe
The Lord watches over me
You hear my cry and You know every need
The Lord watches over me
You never fail me, God
I lift my eyes
I lift my eyes up
Maker of the Heavens
Keeper of my heart
I lift my hands
I lift my hands up
Standing in Your presence
You are never far
I look to You where my help comes from
The Lord watches over me
Your mercies are new with the morning sun
The Lord watches over me
You've never failed me, God
Keeper of my heart
Keeper of my heart
Jesus, You are
My strength
You're never ending love
I know You have overcome
I'll sing when all is said and done
You're my hope, my only hope
