| Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death where somebody, everybody wants to take my last breath I'll keep my head up, stand straight and walk tall Though my body is a target, my spirit can never fall In the middle of the desert or the cold city streets it's just a matter of time before I'm covered in the sheets and when my number's up, when my time has finally come I know I am forever as my body falls numb
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me and in the heat of battle, I bow down on one knee and thank you, Christ, for this unwavering courage I thank you Lord for this faith that they will never discourage My spirit cannot be killed by the actions of men I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to never live again There's a bullet with my name on it, that's how the story's told I know I am forever as my body falls cold
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me They shield me and protect me and they set me free Free to be fearless facing the great unknown and if I ever feel lonely, I know I'm never alone You are my shepherd, Lord, I am always in your sight and if I die today I'll be alive again tonight And should I die tonight, I'll be alive again by dawn I know I am forever as my spirit lives on |
