Representative Text

1. I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid;
I will look upward,
And travel onward,
And not be afraid.

2. He says He will be with me,
He says He will be with me;
He goes before me,
And is beside me,
So I'm not afraid.

3. His arms are underneath me,
His arms are underneath me;
His hands uphold me,
His love enfolds me,
So I'm not afraid.

4. His Word will stand forever,
His Word will stand forever;
His truth– it shall be
My shield and buckler,
So I'm not afraid.

5. He will give grace and glory,
He will give grace and glory;
His cross before me,
His banner o'er me,
So I'm not afraid.

6. So we go singing onward,
So we go singing onward;
We're pressing upward,
We're marching homeward
To Him unafraid.
