Rev. James Cleveland Lyrics
"The Lord Is My Light"

The Lord is my light and he's my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
Oh yeah

The Lord is the strength of my life (The Lord is the strength of my life)
Yes, he is
The Lord is the strength of my life (The Lord is the strength of my life)
Yes, he is
The Lord is the strength of my life (The Lord is the strength of my life)
Oh yes

Of whom shall I be afraid? (Of whom shall I be afraid?)
Shall I be afraid
The Lord is (the Lord is my light)
Oh the Lord is (the Lord is my light)
He's my light (My light, my light)

And the wicked, even my enemies
And my foes came upon, to eat up my flesh
Thank you Jesus, the Bible said

They stumble in fear (they stumble in fear)
They stumble in fear (they stumble in fear)
They stumble in fear (they stumble in fear)

Oh the Lord is (the Lord is my light)
Oh the Lord is (the Lord is my light)
Oh yes sir (My light, my light)

And my mother, and my father
Both foresaked me
God's gon' pick me up
He said we would

He'll set me up on a rock to stay
He'll set me up on a rock to stay

The Lord is (The Lord is my light)
The Lord is (The Lord is my light)
Oh yes (My light, my light)

Yet in the time of trouble
In the time of touble
He gon' hide me
The Lord's gon' hide his children
He gon' hide me

(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
Yes He will, in the time of trouble He'll hide me
I know he will, and then he's gon'

Set me up on a rock to stay
Set me up on a rock to stay

The Lord is (The Lord is my light)
He's my light (The Lord is my light)
Wow yeah, yes He is (My light, my light)

In the time of trouble
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
He's gon' hide me, hide me
He told me he would
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
Thank you Jesus
If you get in trouble
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
I know he will
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
Yet in the time of trouble
Yet in the time of trouble
Yet in the time of trouble
(Yet in the time of trouble, He shall hide me)
He'll hide me
Oh yes He will

He'll set me up on a rock to stay

Wow yeah (My light, my light)
