When the world of evil surrounds me
And beats a loud battle drum
I will not fear or lose confidence
I know where my Help comes from
So I will shout back the truth I’ve learned
With hope and joy on my tongue

For the LORD is my light and my salvation
A Warrior none can deny
I’m protected by the Prince of Peace
Concealed in his cloak of life
And He fights and defends me – always
Hidden in the power of Christ

When I’m caught in the struggle with sin
And start to lose sight of faith
He reminds me he’ll never leave me
He’s made a way of escape
And he tells me to be courageous
To be strong of heart and wait

When I die and I’m laid to rest
And come before the judgment seat
I won’t fear because I know his Word
I’ll proclaim what he’s promised me

Behind the lines

Psalm 27

1)The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

5)For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
~David
