YOU ARE MY SALVATION;
whom then shall I fear?
In darkness and temptation
my light and help are near.

2 You are all around me:
stronger will I stand
and danger will not crush me
when we walk hand in hand.

God Most High, you shelter me
and I will trust in you;
God Most High, you shelter me
and I will trust in you.

(repeat v1, v2 and chorus)

With courage I will wait,
depending on your mercy;
you alone, O LORD, will be my peace.

God Most High…

(BASED AROUND PSALM 27)

(Based on ‘God is my strong salvation’ by James Montgomery 1771–1854)

A look at the author

David Lyon

David is a songwriter, musician and producer from the West Coast of Scotland. He has released six solo albums and played on many other projects over three decades.

Having eventually overcome a childhood reluctance for piano lessons, music-making soon became an integral part of David’s life. His love for The Beatles and U2 shaped his appreciation of the timeless beauty within melody and poetry. He still believes that a song can change everything.

David has performed extensively throughout the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada at theatres, churches, clubs and festivals, initially with Celtic folk/rock band, The Electrics, then in more recent years with his wife, Yvonne.

His songs regularly feature on BBC Radio and he has recorded live studio sessions for Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio Scotland.

Most of David’s time and energy is spent working with other artists and on collaborations so his solo projects have often taken a back seat and tend to coincide with Leap Years.

His most recent album, LOVE LIKE NO OTHER, features five original songs and five reimagined hymns. Due to lockdown restrictions, it was almost entirely recorded remotely in 2020 and David was only able to be in face to face sessions with producer Sandy Jones and Yvonne. All other instrumentalists and vocalists recorded their parts in home studios across Scotland, in Valencia and in Nashville.
