My Father Never Sleeps

The One Who Never Sleeps (Psalm 121) 

On an epic journey 

From ruin to redemption 

No power to change 

No sense of direction. 

Every hill hides a danger 

I can’t see far ahead 

Each step is uncertain 

Without help, I am dead. 

Where will my help come from 

Who can provide such aid 

The One who made the hills 

The One who never is afraid. 

My Lord never slumbers 

He has no need for sleep 

He is ever working 

To keep me from the deep. 

He protects me in the day 

And gives me sweet rest at night 

On Him I wholly depend 

In Him I truly delight. 

Someday I’ll reach the journey’s end 

I know my redemption is sure 

Helped by the One who never sleeps 

Like Him, finally, I will be pure.
