Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

From the day that I was planned
You planned to be in my life
Your hands formed me in my mother’s womb
With joy and love in Your Presence light

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

As I grew up in this world
You planned so I would come
To know Your loving Presence
To be saved by Your Glorious Son

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

As I sought to find a partner
You brought me to the one I love
Gave us the blessing of children
As with You we made our home

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

As I sought to find my work
You opened and closed doors
Directed me to where I should be
And where I could best help others

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

Through times of temptation
When I could’ve left Your side
You warned me of the danger
Empowering me to change my mind

I need not be afraid
I need not be discouraged for

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

As I’ve gone through trials
Strife, sickness and alike
You’ve always been there with me
With wisdom, love and renewed life

I need not be afraid
I need not be discouraged for

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

Whenever I’ve struck problems
You’ve been my guiding light
My fortress and provider
My faithful loving God

I need not be afraid
I need not be discouraged for

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love

You are My joy and portion
My love and my delight
Your Presence is my saving light
Your voice my treasure and insight

You go before me Papa God
You are with me all my days
You will not fail or leave me
For You are faithful in Your love
