But now this is the word of the Lord,
the word of your creator, O Jacob,
of him who fashioned you, Israel:
Have no fear: for I have paid your ransom;
I have called you by name and you are my own.
When you pass through deep waters, I am with you,
when you pass through rivers,
they will not sweep you away;
walk through fire and you will not be scorched,
through flame and they will not burn you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer. Isaiah 43:1-3

You are my Creator
It is You who fashioned me
Know all things about me, in me
Who I fear but You?
It is You who ransomed me
Called me by my name
And now me Yours

Why should I panic with the roaring sea in front me?
Why should I tremble at the armies after me?
For You are with me when I face the engulfing wave
You open a broad way for me to pass through
And have all those evil chariots buried in the water

Why would I trouble myself with the flooding river?
Why would I lose hopes when I encounter vast challenge?
For You will stop it by making it a wall from miles away
You leads me into the promised land
And keep the invasive water from reaching my feet

Why would I worried by the scorching fire from heaven?
Why would I anxious of the burning flame from Hades?
For You will walk me through them safely
You brings me through with Your sheltering presence
And protect me from the iron melting fire

Above flooding water and ferocious fire
You are Lord over all
And You are the Holy One of Your people
For Your glory You will surely deliver us
To manifest Your holiness and greatness above all powers

May Your protection and guidance
Continue to lead and guard me
Through the snares and difficulties
Your kingdom take me in
