When you cross through the waters, don’t shiver with fright.
God will be there with you, from morning to night.
The river may rush, and the waves may roar,
But he’ll hold you up till you reach the far shore.
If fires should blaze and the heat makes you sweat,
Don’t worry. Don’t fret. You’re not finished yet.
The flames cannot burn you, not even a bit,
He’s guarding your steps, wherever you sit.
For he is your God, the One who is true,
The Holy of Israel, watching over you.
Your Savior, your shelter, your strength when you cry—
With Him by your side, you’ll walk safely by.
