I Love the LORD
I love the Lord who heard my voice,
For the pleas of supplications;
He inclined His ear I rejoice,
Exceeding my expectations.
I will call as long as I live,
Encompassed by the snares of death;
Distress and anguish try to give,
The pangs of hell taking my breath.
I call on the name of the Lord,
I pray to deliver my soul;
He is gracious and I adored,
Worship and honor I extol.
Our God has been merciful,
While preserving the simple;
Because His Word is beautiful,
And has made me meek and humble.
I return to resting my soul,
The Lord has dealt bountifully;
Because He has taken control,
Glory overflowing abundantly.
He has stopped the tears from my eyes,
And any stumbling of my feet;
The land to the living that lies,
He guides my walk until complete.
