Sojourn Music's song is a modern arrangement of Isaac Watts' hymn, expressing trust in God's grace amid fear, sin, and spiritual attack. The lyrics acknowledge personal weakness and the enemy's schemes but affirm God's power to break the serpent's teeth and remove death's sting. It calls on the Lord to arise and fulfill His grace, leading the singer to glorify Him. The song draws on themes of God as strength and protector, echoing Psalm 3 and 1 Corinthians 15:55-57. It offers reassurance that no terror can shake the soul when secure in God's hand.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

My God, how many are my fears?

How fast my foes increase

Conspiring my eternal death

They break my fleeting peace


The lying tempter would persuade

My heart to doubt Your aid

And all my swelling sins appear

Much greater than Your grace


Arise, O Lord, fulfill Your grace

While I Your glory sing;

My God has broke the serpent's teeth

And death has lost its sting


But You-my Glory and my Strength-

Will on my tempter tread

Will silence all my threatening guilt

And raise my drooping head


Arise, O Lord, fulfill Your grace 

while I Your glory sing

My God has broke the serpents teeth

And death has lost its sting


And though the hosts of death and hell

All armed against me stand

No more will terrors shake my soul;

Secure within Your hand


Arise, O Lord, fulfill Your grace

while I your glory sing

My God has broke the serpent's teeth

And death has lost its sting
