Representative Text

1 God will take care of you, be not afraid;
He is your safeguard thro' sunshine and shade;
Tenderly watching and keeping His own,
He will not leave you to wander alone.

Chorus:
God will take care of you still to the end;
Oh, what a Father, Redeemer and Friend!
Jesus will answer whenever you call,
He will take care of you, trust Him for all.

2 God will take care of you, thro' all the day,
Shielding your footsteps, directing your way;
He is your Shepherd, Protector and Guide,
Leading His children where still waters glide. [Chorus]

3 God will take care of you, long as you live,
Granting you blessings no other can give;
He will take care of you when time is past,
Safe to His kingdom will bring you at last. [Chorus]
