Come Lord
Come Lord, You are my shield, my glory and my only hope
there is no one like You, I call to You alone.
For You can lift me up over all mountains
and in the faith I will have grown.

May I lay down and sleep in Your peace
under the safety of Your love.
Although many are after me, I turn to You
O Lord, my God above.

I am not afraid, for I know
You are with me day and night.
I know staying in the faith
will lead me closer to Your light.

For my salvation comes from You, God
there is no one else - You are my refuge.
And with You I shall stay and pray
for Your love is so huge.

Come all you faithful and get relief
from all your troubles - come to the Lord.
He alone will protect and save you
come with love and drop your sword.
