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'll 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 power 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'll give you rest
Be not afraid, I go before you always
Come follow me and I will give you rest

Blessed are the poor, for the Kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed 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 will give you rest
Be not afraid, I go before you always
Come follow me and I will give you rest

Be not afraid, I go before you always
Come follow me and I will give you rest
And I will give you rest, and I will give you rest
And I will give you rest, and I will give you rest
And I will give you rest
