Lyrics
“The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation
CHORUS
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation
My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation
In times of waiting, times of need
When I know loss, when I am weak
I know His grace will renew these days
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation
And when I reach my final day
He will not leave me in the grave
But I will rise,
He will call me home
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Lord Is My Salvation” centers every stage of faith on God’s saving character. Its verses move from rescue and stability to courage, patient hope, renewed grace, and resurrection. The recurring question, “Who is like the Lord our God?” answers fear with a portrait of God as strong, faithful, and loving. Salvation is not treated as a passing feeling; it is the secure ground beneath the singer, the source of strength in weakness, and the hope that reaches beyond death.
Several biblical themes are stated with unusual clarity. Exodus 15:2 directly joins strength, song, and salvation, while Psalm 62:6 describes God as rock and secure refuge. The final verse also echoes the Christian hope of resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:52-57, where death gives way to victory. The closing praise of Father, Son, and Spirit broadens the personal confession into worship, allowing the refrain to gather rescue, perseverance, and eternal life into one declaration.
