(Verse 1)
In You, O Lord, I take my stand,
My refuge firm, Your guiding hand.
Let me not be put to shame,
But lifted up, in Your great name.
For troubles rise, and trials brew,
My hope is fixed, my trust in You.
You are my rock, my fortress strong,
Where I belong, all the day long.
(Verse 2)
Deliver me, in righteousness,
From every foe, from every stress.
Incline Your ear, and hear my plea,
And swiftly come and rescue me.
Be my strong dwelling, always near,
A place of safety, casting out fear.
For You have promised, You decreed,
To be my strength, in every need.
(Chorus)
From youth I've known Your faithful way,
My confidence, from day to day.
From childhood cries, You've been my guide,
In Your embrace, I can confide.
You are my hope, my only plea,
From whom all strength flows endlessly.
My praise will ever rise to You,
In everything I say and do.
(Verse 3)
For You, O Lord, have been my stay,
Throughout my life, along the way.
My trust is deep, my spirit leans,
On promises, where grace convenes.
Let not my future fade from sight,
But shine in Your eternal light.
My expectation, strong and true,
Is always, only, found in You.
(Outro)
My expectation, strong and true,
Is always, found only in You.
