From the words of Moses
Don’t fear, be unafraid
Our Lord will fight for us
Standing firm, comes His aid
Protecting evermore
God stands everlasting
Delivers from bondage
His love, full and lasting
Sending His Son to earth
Jesus’ footprints cry out
Step in line, follow me
His peace reigns, without doubt
Crying out to our Lord
Consumed by life’s furnace
Covered by eagles’ wings
Follow Him with sureness
Darkened tomb found empty
Jesus overcoming death
Knowing God’s in control
Stay faithful, with each breath
Father always with us
Never forsaking us
His hope, comforting us
Walking ahead of us
