The Lord is The Light to me.
Nasikiwa Susie 1991 (Dar es Salaam)
I need no lamp
Not the light of the sun
Nor the shine of the moon
For even when I sit in the darkness
Even when I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
The Lord is the Light to me
He brings me forth to His light
He shines on my path
He guides me on my way
I see His righteousness
He executes justice for me
Darkness and death flee before me
