LORD BLESS US, KEEP US

Words & Music By Gene Townsel

Verse 1. 

Lord we ask of you to keep us bound,

   and faithful in your name.

   To always be, to one another,

   a shelter when it rains.

   And to reach out to our brothers, or sisters when they call.

   And to keep you in our hearts, your holy spirit most of all.

 Chorus     

    Lord bless us, keep us, no matter where we tread.

    Lord lead us, guide us, where our spirits can be fed.

 Verse 2. 

     As our children leave, and start their families,

     we send them in your care.

     Lord we pray their paths, will keep them with you,

     when their burdens they can't bear.

    And just keep us feeding on you, your word our staff and shield.

    And til' we all get  to you one day, let love be our true seal.

Chorus

    Lord bless us, keep us, no matter where we tread.

    Lord lead us, guide us, where our spirits can be fed.
