The Lord Is the Light of My Life

Translation from Romanian back into English, by David and Magdalena Davis
Music by George F. Root

The Lord is the light of my life; what shall I fear?
The Lord is my shield and salvation; whom shall I fear?
When the enemy surrounds ... me, I would not fear.
Because the Lord keeps me ... In Him I have my hope.
Only one thing I ask from the Lord
This I desire:
To live in the house of the Lord
To live in the house of the Lord
To live in the house of the Lord
To live in the house of the Lord
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever Amen

The Lord Is My Light

W and M by George F. Root (Psalm 27), 1860

The Lord is my light, is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my strength, is my strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Tho' a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear.
Tho' war should rise against ... me, in this I will be confident.
One thing have I desired of the Lord.
That will I seek after,
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, all the days of my life,
all the days, all the days of my life. Amen
