Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ll fear no evil, Thy rod and staff they comfort me
I'm not worried about tomorrow
My life is in His hands,
And I′m not worried about my sorrows
I'm here at His command
Gives me strength when I need it
Supply out weighs demand
I know my life won't be the same
Oh protect me from my friends oh Lord, and I will watch my foes
Those who wanna eat upon my flesh, protect me from those foes
Here I am at Your service, oh almighty God
And if I call upon Your name I know my life won′t be the same.
Noooooo
Watch me Lord in my time of need (Watch me Lord)
Watch me Lord and increase my speed (Watch me Lord)
Watch me Lord in my time of need (Watch me Lord)
I beg You watch me Lord today
Without You there′s no other way, ooh
Tomorrow is not promised, right now it's very sure
So while I′m living at this moment, my actions must be pure
Help me through all my trials, so on this journey I'll endure
So when I call upon Your name, I know my life won′t be the same
So with a clean heart, and a pure mind,
So pure roots from a pure vine
Trod the earth with a clean mind,
I know my soul be fine
Ooh

Watch me Lord nuh mek dem cut my speed (Watch me Lord)
Watch me Lord in my time of need (Watch me Lord)
