  I cry to you for help. When my heart is overwhelmed
• 2:32
  lead me to the Towering Rock of safety for you, and my safe

• 2:49
  shelter of your wings. For you have heard my vows.

  Oh God, you have given me an inheritance reserved for those

  king may, his years span the generations, may he Reign under
• 3:09
  God's protection forever. May your unfailing love and
• 3:14
  faithfulness. Watch over him, then I will sing

  praises to your name forever, as I fulfill my vows each day.
