Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team


When my heart is overwhelmed

Hear my cry

Give heed to my prayer

And my eyes

Are dim with tears

O Father, make them clear

From the ends

Of all the earth

When my heart is fainting

Let me know

That you have heard

Lead me into safety


And lead me to the Rock

The Rock that's higher

Lead me to the Rock

That's higher than I

Lead me to the Rock

The Rock that's higher

Higher than I


You, O Lord

Have been for me

A refuge from my enemies

Let me live

Within your strength

In the shelter

Of your wings

From the ends

Of all the earth

When my heart is fainting

Let me know

That you have heard

Lead me into safety
