The Lord is my strength and my shield
I've learned I need to trust in him
When things just don't go right
And I think I've lost the fight
I remember the Lord is on high

When I'm feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to me Jesus says to me
Remember just one thing, you're mine

Rest in the Lord, bring all your cares to him
For oh, how he cares for you
And he will give you joy
And peace you never knew
And right now he is waiting for you

When you're feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to you Jesus says to you
Let my love on through cause you're mine

When you have a need, remember our creator
Our father is still on the throne
He said He'd always love us
And that he would come back for us
And take us to our heavenly home

When we're feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to you, and Jesus says to me
