PSALM 61

Be My Defender, Lord, This Day

Be my defender, Lord, this day

Against all sin that comes my way

Take all my restlessness away

And give me peace of mind, I pray.

In your way, Lord, in your time

By your will, Lord, glory thine

In your way, Lord in your time.

By your will, Lord, be it done

The Lord is always there to hear

Though I be far or very near

The Lord will never disappear

The gift of Jesus makes that clear

In your way, Lord, in your time

By your will, Lord, glory’s thine

In your way, Lord in your time.

By your will, Lord, be it done

Send down your Spirit; watch ov’r me

Forgive me now and set me free

O bless me with eternity

You won for all on Calvary

In your way, Lord, in your time

By your will, Lord, glory’s thine

In your way, Lord in your time.

By your will, Lord, be it done

Lord, when my heart grows weak and faint

And I am want to make complaint

I pray remove all trace and taint

Of what keeps me from being a saint

In your way, Lord, in your time

By your will, Lord, glory’s thine

In your way, Lord in your time.

By your will, Lord, be it done
