Thou my everlasting Portion,
More than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
Not for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

After being so disappointed and rejected by a love one a while ago. With tears in my eyes walking up my stairs. I begin to sing "Thou art my everlasting portion more than friends you are to me. Close to thee O Lord.
Thank you Holy Spirit for your indwelling.

Recently, I heard the song being sang to me in the dream. I saw it as a message to me from the LORD. Praise God.
