Indiana Bible College – Psalm 27 lyrics

Verse 1

The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear
The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid

Verse 2

When the wicked even mine enemies and my foes came
Upon me to eat up my flesh they stumbled and fell Though
An host should rise up against me my heart shall not fear though
War should rise against me in this will I be confident
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life

Verse 3

To behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in his temple
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me
He shall set me up upon a rock
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy
I will sing yea
I will sing praises unto the Lord
Hear O Lord when I cry with my voice have mercy also upon me and answer me

When thou saidst Seek ye my face my heart
Said unto thee Thy face Lord will I seek
Hide not thy face far from me
Put not thy servant away in anger
Thou hast been my help
Leave me not neither forsake me
O God of my salvation When my father and my mother forsake me
Then the Lord will take me up
Teach me thy way O Lord
And lead me in a plain path
Because of mine enemies
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies
For false witnesses are risen up against me and such as
Breathe out cruelty I had fainted
Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living

Vamp

Wait on the Lord be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart
Wait I say on the Lord
(X3)
