written by R. Kerr;
based on Psalm 116 : 1-4, 12-19
You heard my anxious plea
And so I love you Lord
You turned your ear to me
It’s you I call toward
Death threatened everywhere
I felt it pull me down
My soul cried out in prayer
‘O save me, lest I drown’…
What ways can I repay
the good you always give?
I’ll name you when I pray
and praise you as I live
What I’ve promised, I will do
Before your people and for you.
Your saints are dear to you
Whether here or gone above
We are your servants true
You freed us with your love
Thankfulness I bring you
with all my grateful heart
Praises I will sing you
From you I’ll not depart
What I’ve promised, I will do
Before your people and for you.
In your house my voice raise
All your greatness to tell
As we offer our praise
Lord, we know all is well.
Amen.
