It Is I

by Tony O'Neill Release year: 2022 


Verse 1

When I sink down in gloom or fear
Hope blighted or delayed
Thy whisper Lord my heart shall cheer
‘Tis I be not afraid

Verse 2

Or startled at some sudden blow
If fretful thoughts I feel
“Fear not it is but I” shall flow
As balm my wound to heal

Verse 3

Nor will I quit thy way though foes
Some onward pass defend
From each rough voice the watchword goes
“Be not afraid a friend”

Verse 4

And oh when judgement’s trumpet clear
Awakes me from the grave
Still in its echo may I hear
‘Tis Christ he comes to save
‘Tis Christ he comes to save
