Representative Text

1 The Lord is my refuge, in Him I'll confide,
No other friend like Him can be;
He keepeth me safely, no ill can betide,
I know that He cares for me.

Refrain:
He cares for me, He cares for me,
I know that He cares for me,
Thro' storms oft assailing,
His love is unfailing,
I know that He cares for me.

2 My heart is exultant, with hope it can sing,
Of mercy so full and so free;
For naught but salvation this comfort can bring,
I know that He cares for me. [Refrain]

3 When troubles and trials encompass me here,
His mercy is over my plea;
His promises quell all my doubts and my fear,
I know that He cares for me. [Refrain]
