as i walk through this valley of death fear does not hold a grip on me for your sake we face death all day long and by your hand you help us understand as the spirit of darkness covers the land you hold this child in your hands and we know by the promises that you ve made that you re light will guide our faith i will not fear no evil as darkness covers the land i watch the horizon grow dim faithful i will escape knowing that i ve been sustained god has sustained me he alone has been my hope in a world waiting for me to fall god has sustained me through it all god has sustained me he restores my soul he guides me on paths of righteousness for his name s sake even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for you are with me
