When the shadows fall and fear surrounds me,
When my heart is heavy, I can barely breathe,
Troubled thoughts are rising like a stormy sea,
But You reach down deep and speak peace to me. 

Your comfort, my joy when I’m breaking inside,
You carry the weight that I’m trying to hide.
When worry is loud and the silence is cold,
You whisper Your love — and I’m finally whole.

In the quiet hours when doubt starts to creep,
You are the Shepherd who watches my sleep.
Though the night is long, I am not alone,
Your presence, my refuge, my heart’s true home.

Your comfort, my joy when I’m breaking inside,
You carry the weight that I’m trying to hide.
When worry is loud and the silence is cold,
You whisper Your love — and I’m finally whole.

You calm the chaos in my mind,
You heal the ache I cannot find.
When all seems lost, You still remain,
A gentle strength, a holy flame.

Your comfort, my joy, in You I’ll abide,
You lift me from sorrow and stay by my side.
No fear can withstand the truth of Your voice —
You are my peace, my reason to rejoice
