One of my favourite all time hymns, by Gerard Markland based on words from Isaiah 43: 1-5.
This is for Charlie Kirk and his family. What a truly tragic loss.
Here's
a video to go with the hymn.
Chorus
Do not be afraid,
For I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name;
You are mine.
Verse 1
When you walk through the waters I'll be with you,
You will never sink beneath the waves.
Chorus
Do not be afraid,
For I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name;
You are mine.
Verse 2
When the fire is burning all around you,
You will never be consumed by the flames.
Chorus
Do not be afraid,
For I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name;
You are mine.

Then remember I am at your side.

Remember you are precious in my eyes.

You are mine, O my child; I am your father,
And I love you with a perfect love.
