When the shadows fall and night begins I feel my heart growing faint So i will stir myself and meditate On the thing which gives me strength When the sun comes up and morning breaks I think of all i have to do today So i will stir myself and meditate On the thing which gives me strength Your word, it's precious to me And it's your word, it's precious to me Though my enemies may all surround me You will guard, protect and hide me In the shadow of your wings So i open my mouth and i breathe in deep That your word of life may be in me To overcome the world When the shadows fall and night begins Lord don't let me lose my way Be as a lamp unto my feet And a light unto my path
