I was falling, falling on my knees 'Cause I was hard pressed and distressed I thought I never could live I was calling, calling on my Lord 'Cause I was falling down the road So burdened with a load And deep beside the things I felt I pondered on those words And called out to my mind those mighty words The Lord is my strength, he is my savior He is my fortress and my shield, my song The Lord is my strength, he is my savior Why should I fear at all? ♪ I was crying, crying out to God That he may hear me in the times When things just get off mind I was praying, praying to my Lord That he may whisper to my ear His words that take off my fear And deep beside the things I felt I pondered on those words And called out to my mind those mighty words The Lord is my strength, he is my savior He is my fortress and my shield, my song The Lord is my strength, he is my savior Why should I fear at all? The Lord is my strength, he is my savior He is my fortress and my shield, my song The Lord is my strength, he is my savior Why should I fear at all?
