You are my light and salvation
Whom shall I fear
You are the strength of all my days
Of whom shall I be afraid
Though war may rise against me
Of this will I be sure
That I will bless the Lord forever
I’ll bless Your holy name
Yes I will bless the Lord forever
I’ll bless Your holy name
Lord it is You I desire
It’s You that I seek
To live with You in Your house forever
Beholding Your beauty
And in the time of trouble
Of this I will be sure
You ask me who do I
Say that You are and I
Say that You are the Christ
Son of the living God
(repeat 4x)
Son of living God
Son of living God
