5 Light Psalm 27: 1-6 The Lord is My CRAIG COURTNEY The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? Though evil doers assail me, When adversaries attack me, They stumble and fall. The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army besiege me, Though war break out against me, My heart will not fear. One thing I ask, one thing I seek of the Lord: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord And to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His dwelling; And He will set me high upon the rock. Then shall my head be exalted Above my enemies round about me; I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord. The Lord is my light and my salvation;
