Verse 1

When there was darkness, you created light.
I was nothing, and you gave me life.
You tested my heart lord, you're searching in the night
You tried me by fire, just to make it right.
Hear my prayer lord and answer my cry
I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye

Chorus

Oh I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye
Under your wings of love that's where I want to be
Lord answer my plea, please don't turn your head from me
I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye.
Go up 1 key

Verse 1

Guide my steps lord keep me in thy way
I trust in your faithfulness to guide me day by day
Help me not to sin, as humans often do
Just give me your word lord and I will sing of you
Remind me dear lord the things you've done for me
I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye

Chorus x2

Answer my plea, please don't turn your head from me
I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye x2

Oh I want you to keep me as the apple of thine eye x2
