Only You Lord

Hear me when I call oh Lord,
Relieve me in my distress
Only your mercy will suffice
Though my enemies be against me Lord
You are my protector
All the world is an enemy to me
and only you my God are help for me.
As darkness overcomes me and hope is
all but gone,
I lift up my eyes to the heavens oh Lord
and cry out ABBA fatherI will lie down in peace and sleep
For I know you give me safety in your arms.
