Verse 1
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
Chorus
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I will give you rest
Verse 2
If you pass through raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid 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
Verse 3
Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked men (tongues) insult and hate you
All because of Me
Blessed, blessed are you!
Verse 4
And when the earth has turned beneath you
And your voice is seldom heard
When the flood of gifts that blessed your life
Has long since ebbed away
When your mind is thick and hope is thin
And dark is all around
I will stand beside you till the dawn
