Verse 1 (Psalm 27:1–3)

The Lord is my light and salvation,

Whom shall I fear, in any nation?

Though enemies rise, I will not fall,

My heart is sure — He hears my call.

Chorus (Psalm 27:4)

One thing I ask, one thing I seek —

To dwell with You, O Lord, in peace.

To gaze upon Your beauty bright,

And worship daily in Your light.

Verse 2 (Psalm 27:5–6)

In times of trouble, You hide me near,

You lift me high above all fear.

I will sing and shout with joy,

My praises rise, You I enjoy.

Hear my cry when I call,

Do not hide, Lord, at all.

Your face alone I will pursue,

My heart says, “Lord, I long for You.”

Though father and mother may turn away,

The Lord will hold me night and day.

Teach me, O God, to walk Your road,

Lead me in truth where mercy flows.

The goodness of God surrounding me.

Wait for the Lord — be strong, take heart,

He is with you, never far.
