Oh the word of my Lord

Oh the word of my Lord, deep within my being,
Oh the word of my Lord, you have filled my mind!

Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you through and through,
I chose you to be mine.
Before you left your mother’s side
I called to you, my child, to be my sign.

I know that you are very young,
But I will make you strong:
I’ll fill you with my word;
And you will travel through the land,
Fulfilling my command which you have heard.

And everywhere you are to go,
My hand will follow you,
You will not be alone.
In all the danger that you fear,
You’ll find me very near, your words my own.

With all my strength you will be filled:
You will destroy and build:
For that is my design.
You will create and overthrow,
Reap harvests I will sow: your word is mine.
