First Song of Isaiah

1993. Anthem sung by the Methodist Church choir on the day I fully came out to myself. Composer, Jack Noble White (1938-2019).

Refrain:
Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.

Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.

Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing
From the springs of salvation
And on that day you shall say,
“Give thanks to the Lord
And call upon His name.”

Refrain:
Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.

Make His deeds known among the peoples;
See that they remember His name is exalted.
Sing the praises of the Lord,
For He has done great things
And this is known in all the world.

Refrain:
Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.

Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion;
Ring out your joy,
For the Great One in the midst of you
Is the Holy One of Israel.

Refrain:
Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.

Surely, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.
