Verse 1:
You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light
Whom shall I fear?

I know Who goes before me
I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a Friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Verse 2:
You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my Sword and Shield
Though troubles linger still
Whom shall I fear?

I know Who goes before me
I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a Friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Verse 3:
My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
Chorus:
I know Who goes before me
I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a Friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Bridge:
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in your hands
I'm holding onto Your promises
You are faithful
You are faithful
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in your hands
I'm holding onto Your promises
You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful

I know Who stands behind
The God of angel armies

The One who reigns forever
He is a Friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Outro:
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and it makes me smile so hard whenever we sing it in Worship.
The simple message is, I do not have to be afraid of anything this world throws at me, because I know the Commander of the Heavenly Host, and nothing is going to happen to me, that He hasnt already authorized, and if I do get scared, my Heavenly Protector is right there, 24/7 - 365. Always with me, no matter what, and that is humbling, and awesome all at the same time :)
