Your Word Over Mine

I’ve been chasing peace in people’s approval

But Proverbs tells me that fear is a cruel noose (Prov. 29:25)

When their words cut deep and my heart feels small

I remember You’ve called me Your own through it all (Isa. 43:1)

The thief comes to steal, to kill, to destroy (John 10:10)

But I hear the Shepherd, and I know His voice (John 10:27)

I’m rooted in the love that’s always there (Jer. 31:3)

Your joy is my strength today (Neh. 8:10)

Peace like a river, hope that won’t fade (Isa. 26:3)

I’m walking with You — my steps are stayed

When my closest ones don’t see my heart

You remind me You’ve known me from the start (Jer. 1:5)

You’re near to the broken, You bind every wound (Ps. 34:18)

Your mercy speaks louder than the lies I’ve assumed (Lam. 3:22-23)

The thief comes to steal, to kill, to destroy (John 10:10)

But I hear the Shepherd, and I know His voice (John 10:27)

I choose Your Word over mine, over theirs (Ps. 119:105)

I’m rooted in the love that’s always there (Jer. 31:3)

No weapon formed will have its way (Isa. 54:17)

Your joy is my strength today (Neh. 8:10)

Peace like a river, hope that won’t fade (Isa. 26:3)

I’m walking with You — my steps are stayed

You keep me in perfect peace (Isa. 26:3)

When my mind stays on You, I’m free (John 8:36)

The battle’s Yours, I’ll stand still and see (2 Chron. 20:17)

Your truth has the final say over me

I choose Your Word over mine, over theirs (Ps. 119:105)

No weapon formed will have its way (Isa. 54:17)

Your joy is my strength today (Neh. 8:10)

Peace like a river, hope that won’t fade (Isa. 26:3)

I’m walking with You — my steps are stayed

Held by Your hand, unshaken I stand,

Through every doubt, through every demand.

You are my refuge, my steadfast stay,

In Your embrace, I will not sway.
