Lyrics

Verse 1

I have set the Lord always before me
With Him holding my hand
I will not not be shaken 
I will not be moved
No, I will not be shaken
I will not be moved

Chorus

(For) You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me to the grave

Verse 2
  
Therefore my heart is glad and I shout your praises
For you have shown your grace
My body will rest secure
And my heart will too

You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me to the grave

Verse 3

You have made known to me the path of life
Apart from you there is no good
You will fill me with joy
As I rest in you
Yes, you will fill me with joy
As I rest in you

Bridge

I will praise the Lord
Still I will sing of His name
Even in the night my heart will praise your name 

I will praise the Lord
Still I will sing of His name
Even in the night my heart will praise your name

Chorus

You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me
You will not abandon me to the grave
