which gives me confidence and
Allows me to remain at peace.

You are the bread of life to those who are weary and dying;
Your body is given for me.
As the Scriptures declare,
You are the One who gives me strength and help
when I am in distress.

O God, surely Your wisdom
will take away my troubles.
O Holy One, give me the grace
to keep the thoughts of my heart
under the guidance of Your teaching.
3.
When the tempter comes near me
with his attractive and deceptive ways,
keep me far away from him.
O Lord Jesus, why should I remain at a distance from You?
Are You not enough for me?
4.
You, who lived with the murderous Jews,
Can take care of me, who left my home,
My father, my mother, my possessions, and my homeland.

Among thousands of people,
Jesus is the pure and holy One.
If I join myself closely to Him
and stand firmly in His strength,
I can overcome the spiritual battles of life
without being deceived.
6.
Even when difficult days come
and everything seems to have gone wrong,
O Lord, precious as gold,
if I stand in Your presence
and speak openly and honestly to You,
You will surely hear me.
