[Verse 1]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro:]
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.
