For I am with You...

But now, this is what the Lord says-
 
He who created you,
He who formed you;
Fear not, for I have redemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
 
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
 
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
 
For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour;
Since you are precious and honured in my sight,
and because I love you.
 
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
