     The God of mercy,      the God who saves

   I shall not fear(I shall not fear) the dark of night(the dark of night)

                  Bm7       E       A

       nor the arrow that flies by day

D              E                D              A

   He will release me from the nets of sinful men

E              D                    A

   He will protect me from their wicked hands

    beneath the shadow of His wings I will rejoice

E                  D             A

    to find a dwelling place secure.

(Repeat Chorus)

D                E                 D              A

   I need not shrink before the terrors  of the night

E              D                        A

   nor stand alone before the light of day

D                 E              D               A

   no harm shall come to me no arrow strike me down

E             D           A

   no evil settle in my soul

(Repeat Chorus)

D                    E            D           A

   Although a thousand men have fallen at my side

E                D                A

   I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand

D                 E               D             A

   His faithful love is all the armour that I need

E                D             A

   to wage my battle with the foe  

    D - E - D - A - A
