Chapters
Their hearts are never humble.
Their bodies are sound, their pockets are full.
They scoff at the righteous one.
They say you don't know, they say you can't see.
But where else can I go?
Whom have I in heaven but you?
There's nothing on the earth I desire I desire more.
My flesh may fail, but you are the strength of my heart forever.
Whom am I in heaven but you?
There's nothing on the earth I desire more.
My flesh may fail, but you are the strength of my heart forever. I walked into the house of the Lord trying to understand.

But you didn't scorn, you held my hand, you led me home again.
You are my shelter and you are my friend.
My guide.
You hold me in your right hand.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
