When I'm Afraid (Psalm 56) Lyrics

When enemies rise like shadows in the night

Watching my steps, waiting to strike

But I'll lift my eyes to something higher

Your promise burns like holy fire

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

Every tear You've counted, every prayer rings true

Though armies gather, though storms break through

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

They twist my words like tangled thorns

Try to break my spirit till the morning dawns

But You've been keeping count of my wandering ways

Storing each tear like precious rain

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

Every tear You've counted, every prayer rings true

Though armies gather, though storms break through

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

What can flesh do to me?

When heaven holds my destiny

I'm walking in the light of life

Dancing through the darkest night

Now I will fulfill my vows to You

With songs of praise breaking through

For You have delivered my soul from death

My feet from falling, given me breath

In the courts of glory, I'll tell Your story

How You turned my mourning into dancing

Every step of faith, every battle faced

Became a testimony of Your grace

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

Every tear You've counted, every prayer rings true

Though armies gather, though storms break through

When I'm afraid, I trust in You

When I'm afraid.. I trust in You..
