[Verse 1]
The hills are steep and rough is the road
Nothing to fear as long as I know
I'm not alone, Lord, You're here with me
I'm in Your care yes this I believe
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
To encourage my soul
I will say
In Him will I trust
And I will say
You're God and You will never change
And I will say
You're more than enough
[Channel 1]
To hurt or to heal
To break or to mend
Power is all inside
And since You gave the power to me, yeah
That's what I'll say, yeah
[Verse 2]
And when my walls come tumbling down
Shadows of death just hanging around
I will not fear 'cause You're here with me, yeah
I'm in Your care yes this I believe
[Chorus]
[Channel 2]
To fall or to fly
To stand or to hide
You know the choice is mine
So by the power given to me
I'm gonna say
[Bridge]
My fountain of joy
My river of life
My maker and my redeemer
My rest and my peace
My rock and my truth
And all of these things I will say
[Chorus B]
To encourage my soul
And I will say
In You will I trust
I will say
You're God and You will never change
And I will say
You're more than enough
[Vamp]
I will say, I will say, I will say
Speak life into my soul
I'll speak life
[Repeat-Out]
