Lyrics
Verse 1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Chorus
Lord, you are my shelter, God of my salvation; I am not forsaken. Lord, my Shield and Protector, waiting on your promise, I will see your goodness, O Lord.
Verse 2
When troubles arise, no foe can harm me; you are my peace, you are my peace. You lift me above the raging storm, you've conquered my enemies.
Verse 3
One thing I have asked: to see your beauty; this I will seek, this I will seek. To dwell in your house, to walk in your ways, your presence is all I need.
Bridge
I wait, wait for the Lord, in faith, trusting your words. I'll wait, wait for the Lord, in faith, trusting your words.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Chorus
Lord, you are my shelter, God of my salvation; I am not forsaken. Lord, my Shield and Protector, waiting on your promise, I will see your goodness, O Lord.
