When darkness encroaches

And death overshadows the valley,

Have no fear

For I am with you.

The shadows are lies

And death an illusion.

But take heart

For I’ve torn the veil,

Giving sight to the blind,

Hope to the hurting,

And truth to the deceived.

My mercies are new every morning.

Just as I am the dawn

And the new day,

So am I with you always.
