Lyrics
I called the Lord in my distress

With darkness all around

The cords of death and godlessness

Had left me trapped and bound

But when the sound of my feeble cry

Finally reached His throne on high

He flew down from heaven

On the wings of the wind

And I found refuge in Him

(Chorus)

I will love you, Christ my Savior

I will ever sing your praise

Be my rock, my strength and fortress

Till I see you face to face

The Lord has kept all His promises

To be my strength and shield

He lights my path and trains my hands

For war on life's battlefield

And by Him I can leap over walls

All I have to do is call

He promises to be a shield for all

Who put their trust in Him

(Chorus x2)

Walk on the streets of Zion

Where trouble will be no more (No more heartache)

Where the lamb will lay down with the lion

And there'll be peace like never before (Talkin' 'bout peace y'all)

There won't be no pain and sorrow

He's gonna wipe every tear from our eyes (No more worries over there)

And the last will be first (forever) and everybody that thirsts (and ever)

Is gonna drink from the waters of life (forever and ever)

When I see you (When I see you, Lord, when I see you, Lord)

When I see you (When I see you, Lord, when I see you, Lord)

When I see you (See you)

Face to face (Face to face)

(I promise I will love you, love you forever)

I will love you
