My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee Songtext
von Rob Gardner

For a little while
Have I forsaken thee
But with great mercies will I gather thee
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee
For a moment

But with everlasting kindness will I gather thee
And with mercy will I take thee ′neath my wings
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills shall be removed
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea
But know, my child
My kindness shall not depart from thee

Though thine afflictions seem
At times too great to bear
I know thine every thought and every care
And though the very jaws
Of hell gape after thee I am with thee


And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee
And with healing will I take thee 'neath my wings
Though the mountains shall depart
And the hills shall be removed
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea
Know, my child
My kindness shall not depart from thee

How long can rolling waters
Remain impure?
What pow′r shall stay the hand of God?
The Son of Man hath descended below all things
Art thou greater than He?

So hold on thy way
For I shall be with thee
And mine angels shall encircle thee
Doubt not what thou knowest
Fear not man, for he
Cannot hurt thee

And with everlasting kindness will I succor thee
And with mercy will I take thee 'neath my wings
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills shall be removed
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea
But know, my child
My kindness shall not depart from thee
