Precious Father, You are everything to me
You are the light of my world, my daily help and strength
You are my joy and the comfort in my pain

It is well with my soul because You are mine and I am Yours
Thank You for offering Yourself to me and letting me have the peace
I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me

How thankful I am to know that I can count on Your love,
That I can trust You for all my needs
I refuse to be discouraged for You are my hope

It means the world to me to know
You know my heart and soul better than anyone else
You accept me just as I am with Your perfect love

Always encourage me O God
To do the things in my daily life Your way
Because Your way will give me victory over every challenge that I face

I just want to worship and to praise You with my whole being
For the rest of my life I want to walk close to You
And depend on You, knowing that You will not fail me

Thank You for being in control
For being the One who is greater than any of my problems
Help me to be all that You created me to be
