NO GRASSHOPPER AM I

NO GRASSHOPPER AM I

No grasshopper am I
And here's the reason why:
My Jesus lives and reigns inside of me.
Though giants be in the land,
I stand at God's right hand.
A greater Army there could never be.

No grasshopper am I.
No need for me to cry,
For God is on my side both day and night.
When you belong to Him,
The path is never dim.
He'll go before and make the pathway bright.

No need for me to fear.
The Lord is always near,
Though there be giants as far as I can see.
I will not look at them.
Instead, I'll look at Him,
And watch His mighty hand deliver me.

I've set my face to go,
And neither friend nor foe,
Can stop me from reaching Heaven's Land.
I'll run through troops..they'll fall
I'll leap over any wall.
God holds me sweet and gentle in His hand.
