My Lord, You are the light of my salvation, whom shall i fear.

Here is a poem of defiant faith and triumphant trust, built upon that powerful declaration.

---

The shadows gather, long and deep, And worries stir to break my sleep. A thousand"what ifs" whisper fear, Of all that I might lose or bear. The future looms,a storming sea, That threatens to unravel me.

But in the tumult, in the dread, A stronger word must now be said. A truth to silence every lie, A banner raised,a battle cry: "The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?" This is my rock,my firm foundation, Drowning out the dread so near.

"The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?" Though armies rise and foes may stand, They tremble at Your firm command. Though war may break against the shore, Your promise stands forevermore.

For You are not a distant god, You are the staff,the iron rod. You are the shelter in the blast, The anchor that will ever last. "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." In waters deep,Your way is through.

So let the winds of chaos blow, Let every fear and terror grow. They have no power,they have no sting, For You are God,my everything. My light,my salvation, my fortress sure— In Your strong love,I am secure.

Whom shall I fear? The answer's plain: No power of hell,no worldy pain. For if my God is on my side, In His salvation I abide. The Lord is my salvation—this I know, And before His strength,all fears must go.
