Safeguards

These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and

body

Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!”

Calm my heart and give me still peace within my very

soul

These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and

body

Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!”

When strength turns to crippled

I've learned to silence the world and listen

Blood staining Your footprints

For surely You went before this son

Through all the chaos and noise I’ve learned

I’ve learned to silence the world and listen

Still I’m singing of how great You are

For surely you went before this son

When safeguards turn captors

The haven never been seen so clearly

My constant delivers

All the surety that He hears me

How can I repay You Lord for this all-forgiving love?

For it's the sight of Christ upon the tree that surely

Will always still and humble me

Calm my heart and give me peace within my soul

How can I repay you Lord for this bounty of love?

You will not abandon me when this body sees decay

Grace and peace has made a home in this heart that it

will stay

It will stay

For when my safeguards turn to captors

It will stay
