I Love the Lord - Psalm 116: 1-9

The Lord is so good to me having listened to my cries my love for the Lord goes sky high all my life call on Him till it dies Death affects me all around holds me in allowing no release so distressed but calls on the Lord Lord, please deliver me on my knees The Lord's so gracious, full of mercy with the perfect righteousness of His own coming down to me needing saving no matter my simplicity, preservation known Cry aloud to my own soul to return to that place of rest for the Lord is there so blessed to know His love my ultimate goal This God delivers me from death taken away every tear from my eyes keeping on my feet so not to stumble God's near in my life living, makes me sigh! (I love the Lord because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!” Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.) Psalm 116: 1-9 (ESV)
