Lyrics for "I Only Want to Cling to You"

Psalm 119-2

vs 17-32

When I am cast down

Lying with my shattered hope

Eyes too tired to see

That at the end of my road

Your path, your Word

and your wisdom

will guide my way

will guide my way

At the end of my road

Just a stranger on the earth

On a sojourn through this life

stranger from my birth

Your word, your law

your testimonies

will guide my way

will guide my way

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

When I called Your name

You answered me with truth

Give me a generous heart

A heart to be filled by you

And let me never be put to shame

guide my way

guide my way

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

Don't want to cleave to the dust

I only want to cling to you

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

I only want to cling to you

O guide my way

You know the way
