Song for a Young Prophet - The Boy Choristers of Wells Cathedral/David Bednall
Composer:Benjamin Britten
Oh the word of my Lord
Deep within my being
Oh the word of my Lord
You have filled my mind
Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you thru and thru
I chose you to be mine
Before you left your mother's side
I called to you my child to be my sign
Oh the word of my Lord
Deep within my being
Oh the word of my Lord
You have filled my mind
I know that you are very young
But I will make you strong
I fill you with my word
And you will travel through the land
Fulfilling my command which you have learned
Oh the word of my Lord
Deep within my being
Oh the word of my Lord
You have filled my mind
And everywhere you are to go
My hand will follow you
You will not be alone
In all the danger that you fear
You'll find me very near
Your words my own
Oh the word of my Lord
Deep within my being
Oh the word of my Lord
You have filled my mind
With all my strength you will be filled
You will destroy and build
For that is my design
You will create and overthrow
Reap and harvest I will sow
Your word is mine
Oh the word of my Lord
Deep within my being
Oh the word of my Lord
You have filled my mind
