Safeguards

These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and body Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!” Calm my heart and give me still peace within my very soul These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and body Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!” When strength turns to crippled I've learned to silence the world and listen Blood staining Your footprints For surely You went before this son Through all the chaos and noise I’ve learned I’ve learned to silence the world and listen Still I’m singing of how great You are For surely you went before this son When safeguards turn captors The haven never been seen so clearly My constant delivers All the surety that He hears me How can I repay You Lord for this all-forgiving love? For it's the sight of Christ upon the tree that surely Will always still and humble me Calm my heart and give me peace within my soul How can I repay you Lord for this bounty of love? You will not abandon me when this body sees decay Grace and peace has made a home in this heart that it will stay It will stay For when my safeguards turn to captors It will stay --- Safeguards - Wolves at the Gate
