Lyrics by Claire Sharminni Thamboo
Music by Evelyn Lee
Verse 1:
Let the breakers of death surge about me,
my eyes will be fixed upon my Lord.
There’s no darkness that can overcome His light,
There’s no evil that can overcome His might.
Praised be the Lord, I exclaim, praised be the Lord.
Chorus:
I love You, O Lord, You are my strength,
You are my fortress and deliverer.
My God, You are my rock of refuge,
my shield, my salvation, my stronghold,
with You I will prevail.
Verse 2:
Though destroying floods overwhelm me;
my breath will lend voice to praise His Name.
Watery depths can never hide me from His sight,
nature’s wrath, He’ll render gentle and contrite.
Praised be the Lord, I exclaim, praised be the Lord.
Verse 3:
Though the cords of the nether world enmesh me,
my hands will be raised towards my Lord.
Dark of night will not extinguish His great Light,
death’s snares cannot obscure this hope that burns so bright.
Praised be the Lord, I exclaim, praised be the Lord.
