2/16/07: Song Lyrics

I just thought I would share the lyrics to a song that the Lord gave me about 5 or 6 months ago. I was reading Isaiah 43, and I got these words. The chorus is pretty close to the scripture, but the verses are more personal. I plan on singing this in church pretty soon; I've just had trouble getting with Bro. Bernard to get it polished! Maybe in the next couple of weeks we'll be ready to do it!

Fear Not, For I Have Redeemed You

Chorus: Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the flood, I will be with you; the rivers shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you'll not be burned; nor shall the flame kindle upon you. For I'm the Lord Your God. You are precious in my sight! I have loved you. Fear not; for I am with you.

Verse 1: The Lord is mighty. His wonders amaze! He is greater than man's mind can comprehend. He hung the universe on nothing. He holds the wind in the palm of His hand. To think that He who created all things by His Word looked down on me and He called me by name!

Verse 2: When in the valley I stumble along, sometimes it seems every footstep is wrong. I look to Him for I know He knows the answer. I know that He is my Shepherd and Guide. So even when I don't seem to want Your leading in my life, oh lead me Lord and give me strength to stand!

Verse 3: The trials of life can sometimes overwhelm. You feel alone, with no hope, without a friend. Then He in love speaks your name in the tempest and reminds you the storm is in His hands. You are His child, and He will never leave you alone, so trust in Him, and just keep holding on!
