Lyrics:
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, and cause you to stand.
I have chosen you from the ends of the earth,
I hold you with my right hand.
Doubt, fear, and distress,
Sickness, danger, and the sword,
Will not ever conquer you.
Do not be afraid of the terror by night,
Do not be afraid of disaster by day.
A thousand will fall at your side,
And ten thousand will lie at your feet,
But you will be safe.

Do Not Be Dismayed
Music by Joel Bauman
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, and cause you to stand.
I have chosen you from the ends of the earth,
I hold you with my right hand.
Doubt, fear, and distress,
Sickness, danger, and the sword,
Will not ever conquer you.
Story Behind the Song
This appears to be a contemporary scripture song credited with music by Joel Bauman and text drawn from biblical passages. The supplied text includes clear language from Isaiah 41:9-10 as well as imagery from Psalm 91 about terror by night, disaster by day, and thousands falling at one's side.
