You are the keeper of my soul.
You'll be my strength as I grow old.
You always pick me up when I am sinking.
You carry me through the dark of night,
filling me with a world of light,
and I know I'll never be alone.

But when I think of how they treated you,
it goes beyond my understanding.
You gave your all and still forgave them all.
You were kind. You were loving, even on the cross.

So many times I've gone astray,
only to find I'd lost my way,
and like a good shepherd you were there to guide me.
Although I don't deserve your love,
you smile at me from up above,
letting me know you're always near.

And when my time on earth is over, you'll be there to take me home.
You gave your all only to save my soul.
You were kind, you were loving, even on the cross.

When my time on earth is over, you'll be there to take me home.
You gave your all only to save us all.
You were kind, you were loving, even on the cross.

You were kind, you were loving, even on the cross.
