Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Lord is my light
And the rock of my salvation
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear

The Lord is my light
And the rock of my salvation
Of whom shall I be afraid

I offer up to you a sacrifice
I will sing praise unto your name
For you have conquered all my enemies
You are the God of my salvation

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat verse & chorus)
Of whom shall I be afraid

Overall Meaning

In Bob Fitts's song, "The Lord Is My Light," the lyrics are a declaration of faith and trust in God. The opening lines, "The Lord is my light and the rock of my salvation," demonstrate the singer's belief that God is their guiding light and unwavering foundation. These words are a direct reference to Psalm 27:1, where King David writes, "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Throughout the song, the singer continues to express their steadfastness in God's provision and protection, noting that with God by their side, they have nothing to fear.


The second stanza of the song goes on to express the singer's willingness to offer a sacrifice and praise to God for all the ways in which God has conquered their enemies and provided for them. The use of the word "enemies" here could refer to actual physical threats, or it could be poetic language for the singer's spiritual battles. Either way, the declaration that God has already won the victory is a powerful testament to the singer's faith in God's power and goodness.


Overall, "The Lord Is My Light" is a beautiful expression of trust and faith in God. The lyrics point to a deep understanding that in the face of all life's challenges and threats, there is no need to be afraid when we have a rock-solid foundation in God.
