In myself I've failed the Lord,
then was afraid to try once more;
That fire in my soul had fled
that's when Jesus came and said:
"My Spirit gives the strength you need
to raise you up and to succeed,
and for vision in the night,
to you, I'll give these words of life.
Fear not, my child, I'm with you always,
I feel ev'ry pain and ev'ry tear I see.
Fear not, my child, I'm with you always,
I know how to care for what belongs to me."
He said, "My child don't look behind
discouragement is all you'll find;
Don't watch the waves that roll the sea,
but just focus your eyes on me.
And I will make you strong and then
your shattered courage I will mend,
and if you fall and should get hurt,
remember these eternal words.
Fear not, my child, I'm with you always,
I feel ev'ry pain and ev'ry tear I see.
Fear not, my child, I'm with you always,
I know how to care for what belongs to me.
I know how to care for what belongs to me."
