Lyrics

The Lord is my light

(Bm7)and my sal va tion;

(Bm7)whom shall I (A)fear?

He’s the strength of my life,

(Bm7)day

and night,

no need to (Bm7)be a (A)fraid.

I I have a se cret place

where I seek God’s God’s face.

He gives me peace

for my trou bled mind.

He car ries me, (O ver moun tains high,) He com forts me.

(through the val leys low.) When I’m go ing through the storm, (Go ing through a storm,) I’m pro tect ed in His (He’ll arms.

pro tect you in His arms.)

The Lord is my light

(Bm7)and my sal va tion;

(Bm7)whom shall I (A)fear?

He’s the strength of my life,

(Bm7)day

and night,

no need to (Bm7)be a (A)fraid.

When e vil tries to de stroy me,

(Bm7)tries to make me fall,

He puts me on a rock

out of the reach (A)of them all.

When my en e mies try to hurt me,

I don’t have (Bm7)to wor ry.

I’m in His care, not just here

but ev (A)’ry where.

(A)whom shall I fear?

He is my strength,

my strong (F#m7)tow er,

He’s my (Em9)hid ing place

from day to (G)day.

(F#m)He’s

(G#)my (Gmaj9)strength,

the Lord is my (F#m7)strong tow er, and you know what, though you (Em9)walk through the val ley, the shad ow of death, don’t you (G)know that you’re not a lone?

The Lord is my light

(C#m7)and my sal va tion;

(C#m7)whom shall I (B)fear?

He’s the strength of my life,

(C#m7)day

and night,

no need to (C#m7)be a (B)fraid.

The Lord is my light

(C#m7)and my sal va tion;

(C#m7)whom shall I (B)fear?

He’s the strength of my life,

(C#m7)day

and night,

no need to (C#m7)be a (B)fraid.
