Captain G.Q. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I am afraid, I will trust in you
In God, whose word I praise
In God I trust, I will not be afraid
What can man do to me?
I know God is for me
God whose word I praise
In the Lord I hope, in God I trust
I will not be afraid
In the Lord I will trust and praise
giving thanks to God with offerings
My soul kept from the deadly sting
and indeed my feet from stumbling




That I might walk before my God
in the light of the living, hallelujah
