of whom shall we be afraid?
Though foes may be near to destroy,
the Lord will be our light. [Refrain]

yes, this is the thing we seek:
To dwell in the house of the Lord;
to live with God forever. [Refrain]
3 When burdens are heavy to bear,
our shelter is God alone.
Our feet are lifted high;
yes, high upon a rock. [Refrain]
4 We walk in the strength of the Lord,
God's love is ever sure.
We shout that the world may hear,
we sing a joyful song. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 56:13 Languages: English Tune Title: SIYAHAMBA
