Living in a world so cold
I never know where to go
I fear the fact of growing old
I'm trying to protect my soul
God, take care of me, won't you please
It's my plea
From the wind that's blowing
Protect my coming and my going
Follow me as you lead me
Lord, I thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thanks
For taking care of me
Taking care of me
Drive-bys every day
Your home isn't even safe
Where will the children play?
I can't tell the night from the day
God, take care of me, won't you please
It's my plea
From the wind that's blowing
Protect my coming and my going
Follow me as you lead me
Lord, I thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thanks
For taking care of me
Taking care of me
Shelter me with your loving arms
Lead me from all hurt and harm
Guide my steps so I won't drift astray
I pray
God, take care of me, won't you please
It's my plea
From the wind that's blowing
Protect my coming and my going
Follow me as you lead me
Lord, I thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thanks
For taking care of me
Taking care of me
