~ Isaiah 43 ~

 1. But now listen to the Lord that created you

... and he that formed you,

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by thy name,

and you are mine.

2. When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you.

And through the rivers,

they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned,

neither shall the flame consume you.

3. For I am the Lord your God,

 the Holy One; your Savior.

I paid dearly for your ransom;

gave everything to gain you ...

4. Because you were precious in my sight,

and because I loved you.
