Long May You Be

by Mark Bailey (original)

Verse 1
The world is full of wonder, Oh the beauty of this place
I look around and marvel at, Your unending grace
And every morning when I wake, I clasp my hands and pray
I’m so thankful for Your love, And praise for this new day

Chorus 1
Long may You be my God, Long may You be my guide
Long may You be my strength, Long may You reign on high
Long may You hear my voice, Long may You hear my cry
Forever my God, Long may You be

Verse 2
The world is full of danger, When the enemy surrounds
And with Your shield of faithfulness, I’ll fight and stand my ground
I know that all things earthly, Can crumble into dust
But You sent Your only Son, In Him I place my trust

Chorus 2
Long may You be my God, Long may You be my light
Long may You be my hope, Long may You be my sight
Long may You be my source , Of everlasting life
Forever my God, Long may You be
