Strong Faith

Psalm 27:1-5

The Lord is my light and salvation,
Who is then a cause of fear to me?
He is my strength and foundation,
That is making my life danger free.

When evil doers tried to put an end,
To my life and damaging my name;
The Lord had come to me as a friend,
To crush them and putting to shame.

Even if their army came with tanks,
Still my heart jubilantly has no fear;
Even if they wage war I give thanks,
For my faith in God I will hold dear.

In troubled times God keeps secure,
With a secret place for me to hide;
High up upon a rock for to ensure,
That He is always there by my side.

One prayer to the Lord I have made,
That is truly of my heart deep desire;
In hopes of mine that will never fade,
Joining Him in the Heavenly Empire.
