Lyrics
Refrain:
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of his hand.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in his shadow for life
and he will say to the Lord
My refuge, my rock in whom i trust,
Repeat Refrain
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Repeat Refrain
You need not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day,
though thousands fly about you,
near you it shall not come.
Repeat Refrain
For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
on their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of his hand.
and hold you, hold you in the palm of his hand.
