It seems I've been running forever I just can't go on another day The words I once trusted are useless The strength in my body fades away My fear clings like heat in the desert And strikes at my heals like a snake Father I need your assistance I don't know how much more I can take Chorus Don't be afraid my son, for I am with you I will lead you to a perfect place I will defend you in your day of trouble I will cover you inside my grace I come to a place of refreshment A station of safety and rest I pray for a bread sent from Heaven My need won't be filled from any less My God gives the sword of Goliath And feeds me on manna divine The weapon once used to destroy me Will now serve to take back what is mine Chorus The serpent, who filled me with sorrow Is no longer an object of dread I go to his camp with vengeance And retreat in the night with his head Chorus
