watch over me

from my window i see the sunrise
it's You in all Your glory
but my heart is setting, it's no surprise
that in the midst of this i'm still worried

and You have done great things that I should believe
yet i can't stop myself from jumping in with both feet

i can build a house in vain
receive my portion from the remains
rise early and stay up late
still you grant me sleep
and you watch over me...

if i trust in this, i can't be shaken
why then do i shake like a fool
like someone who knows what she needs to do
like a brokenhearted girl in need of You

i can build a house in vain
receive my portion from the remains
rise early and stay up late
still you grant me sleep
and you watch over me...

and anything i attempt to do
whatever exceeds the glory of You
i can't do it alone
i don't want to make it my own...

[psalm 127:1-2]
