You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way

You shall speak your words in foreign lands
And all will understand
You shall see the face of God and live

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I shall give you rest

If you pass through raging waters
In the sea, you shall not drown
If you walk amidst the burning flames
You shall not be harmed

If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you, through it all

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I shall give you rest

Blessed are your poor
For the Kingdom shall be theirs
Blest are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh

And if wicked men insult and hate you
All because of Me
Blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I shall give you rest
