His Light Will Save Me
Owen Duff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I make my solemn vow
To Keep His light in front of me
In spite of what the dark allows
Of what harm comes unto me

And if I'm faced by mighty waves
And can't swim back and am not saved
I know my soul will be redeemed
My faith in him rescue me

Here I give myself to him
In sweet and clear surrender
I know his love is right and true
I know his love is tender

A storm may rage for endless years
And make real to me all of my fears
Still I will prevail here undimmed
Through my eternal faith in him
