Exultation
We will sing your praise in the congregations
day unto night even in conflagrations
fire that burns dross to clean and pure
faith like Daniel's where messengers appear
Few can read what is in mind of man
but God before you naked we stand
therefore but what we love be True
for all that's valuable we learned from you
Though alone and afraid you took care of me
showed me all the gifts of eternity
my life I gave for that knowledge alone
whatever happens the truth found it's home
You chased me like Jonah and the whale
where ever I ran I knew you'd prevail
you lift me up when I am cast down
to extol your truth where Jesus wears it's crown
The afflicted and righteous oh God you know
wisdom and understanding to them you show
your goings forth to them are clear
what you've taught to them hold dear
Examine me God for I have sought your face
and away from wrong with love replace
despite course of life I will trust in you
your favor you show and gifts are true
My sins my Lord went over my head
but your forgiveness raised me from the dead
like the passover lamb where Jesus is meat
sheep follow the path of the Good Shepherds feet
You have crowned with glory what the world despised
and with the lowly have housed the wise
the anointed Jesus you made your King
and into his hands given your everything
Your peace oh Jah will last forever
to teach your Kingdom was Jesus endeavor
rule mankind he will with righteous scepter
and from the earth will the wicked sever
sources the prophets , psalms , gospels
and The Apocalypse
