Chris van der Westhuizen

In die daaglikse stryd van die lewe
Waar onsekerheid soos skadus bly,
Is U die lig wat my lei.
In U is ek vreesloos en vry.

In U hande lê my toekoms, my lot.
U is my redding, my ewige God.
Ek stap vorentoe, met vreeslose moed.
In U naam, Jesus, is alles goed.

U veg my gevegte, U dra my las,
U bepaal my rigting, U gee die pas.
Ek luister in gehoorsaamheid, Heer.
U woorde lei my elke keer.

Met vreeslose vertroue leef ek vry.
In U, my Heer, is ek altyd bly.
Want U gee my krag, U gee my seën,
U sorg dat dit sag op my lande reën.

Fearless Trust

In life's daily battle,
Where uncertainty lingers like shadows,
You are the light that guides me.
In You, I am fearless and free.

In Your hands lie my future, my fate.
You are my salvation, my eternal God.
I step forward with fearless courage.
In Your name, Jesus, all is well.

You fight my battles, You bear my burden,
You set my direction, You set the pace.
I listen in obedience, Lord.
Your words guide me every time.

With fearless trust, I live free.
In You, my Lord, I am always joyful.
For You give me strength, You give me blessing,
You ensure that gentle rains fall on my fields.
