Lyrics (Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14):

Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my lifeÕs refuge;
of whom should I be afraid? Response

One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
and contemplate his temple. Response

I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD. Response
