[ SPOKEN INTRO]
Listen to me, child of God!
The God who kept Israel in the wilderness
has not changed His name!
He does not sleep. He does not slumber.
When you are sleeping, He is watching.
When you are crying, He is near.
When you cannot see the way,
His eyes are still upon you!
Nea ɔhwɛ Israel no,
ɔnntɔ nkoh, na wada!
He is watching over me,
He is watching over you!
So lift up your eyes—
Your help comes from the Lord!

When the road is rough before me,
And I don't know where to go,
I will put my trust in Jesus,
For my God will never let me go.
