[Verse 1]
From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me, O God

[Verse 2]
From the need to be understood
From the need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me, O God
Deliver me, O God

[Chorus]
And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

[Verse 3]
From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me, O God
Deliver me, O God

[Chorus]
And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
I shall not want, I shall not want
