R. O Lord, You make me sure and strong,
You save me and set me free ;
You are my fortress and my rock,
You are my God.
1. I take refuge with your mighty shield,
Trusting in your strength without fear ;
You are worthy of all praise, my God,
You have rescued me from my foes.
2. He has saved me from my grief and fear,
When I cry to God, He will hear ;
He will stretch his arm to keep me safe,
He has always answered my prayer !
3. You, O Lord, have been my light and help,
In my darkness You are my lamp ;
You have shown your saving pow’r to me.
I rejoice to tell of your name !
4. You alone are God, You are my king,
Who can stand alone without You ?
You will share with me your mighty strength,
I will give You praise without end.
