INTRO (Spoken/Sung softly over gentle piano)
Father, Creator of heaven and earth...
This day is a blessing You have given...Blakk Pot
Let my Angel guide me through the darkness...
And never let Your watchful eye grow dim...

VERSE 1
Father of heaven, Ruler of all
I bow before You, I answer Your call
This morning I rise, this day is Your gift
Guide every step, my spirit lift
Let not the Angel of death draw near
Cast away premature fear
Protect my life, my soul, my heart
From every arrow, from every dart
---
CHORUS
Oh, Father, keep me in Your care
Let no dark shadow meet me there
Shelter my children, my dependence too
I give my everything to You
Before death's hand can reach my side
Let me reach my peak, let me abide
In Your presence, in Your grace
Until I see Your holy face
---
VERSE 2
Sickness and pain, I cast them away
You are my Healer, come what may
Feed my body, feed my soul
Make me complete, make me whole
I will not question Your perfect plan
I trust the touch of Your mighty hand
You see it all, You know it all
Before I stumble, before I fall
---
CHORUS
Oh, Father, keep me in Your care
Let no dark shadow meet me there
Shelter my children, my dependence too
I give my everything to You
Before death's hand can reach my side
Let me reach my peak, let me abide
In Your presence, in Your grace
Until I see Your holy face
---
BRIDGE (Building with passion)
God of the universe, You know my name
You see my struggle, You feel my pain
Never let me question, never let me doubt
You are the answer, without a doubt
You see the sparrow, You see the sea
You see the deepest part of me
I am grateful, I am Yours
Forever and ever, and evermore
---
VERSE 3 (Softer, reflective)
Let my children never be alone
Let them be covered around Your throne
If I should go before they stand
Keep them safe within Your hand
But let me live until my work is done
Until my race is fully run
Let me see the peak before the end
Let Your mercy still descend
---
FINAL CHORUS (Full passion, building to climax)
Oh, Father, keep me in Your care!
Let no dark shadow meet me there!
Shelter my children, my dependence too
I give my everything to You!
Before death's hand can reach my side
Let me reach my peak, let me abide
In Your presence, in Your grace
Until I see Your holy face!
---
OUTRO (Softly, with reverence)
Father Almighty...Blakk Pot, I will always be grateful...
Never let me question Your ability...
You are the God of the universe...
Knowing... and seeing...
Everything...
Amen.
Blakk Pot, God is your saviour
