I've been looking for the text to this song from the 70s. Some of the words are...."you give marvelous comrades to me, the faithful who dwell in your land, those who choose alien gods have chosen an alien band...."

Anyone have the words? Thanks! Guest

For you are my God by John Foley, SJ

For you are my God; you alone are my joy. Defend me, O Lord.

1. You give marvelous comrades to me:
the faithful who dwell in Your land.
Those who choose alien gods
have chosen an alien band.

2. You are my portion and cup;
It is You that I claim for my prize.
Your heritage is my delight,
the lot you have given to me.

3. Glad are my heart and my soul
Securely my body will rest
For you will not leave me for dead
Nor lead your beloved astray

4. You show me the path for my life
In your presence the fullness of joy
To be at your right hand forever
For me would be happiness always

My mother died 3 weeks ago, and this song has been playing in my head for the past couple of days.
