"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?
"

Psalm 27:1

Revised Standard Version

 x

I Will Not Be Afraid

I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid,
I will look upward,
And travel onward,
And not be afraid.

He says he will be with me,
He says he will be with me,
He goes before me,
And is beside me,
So I'm not afraid.

His arms are underneath me,
His arms are underneath me,
His hands uphold me,
His love enfolds me,
So I'm not afraid.

His Word will stand forever,
His Word will stand forever,
His truth -- it shall be
My shield and buckler,
So I'm not afraid.

He will give grace and glory,
He will give grace and glory,
His cross before me,
His banner o'er me,
So I'm not afraid.

So we go singing onward,
So we go singing onward,
We're pressing upward,
We're marching homeward,
To Him unafraid.

Ellls Govan, 1897
