Song of Praise
Like Miriam in the wilderness
I will raise my tambourine high
To praise this king
Who brought me from my Egypt
Into the Promised Land
You have carried me through
The desert
The barren wasteland
That was my life of sin
I will shout in your arms
As John shouted even
In his mother's womb
Hold me strong
As you have done
Throughout each twilight hour
Of this journey I have walked
I will thrive in your grace
As Daniel and Job did
When staring even into
The eyes of death
God you are my refuge
God you are my life
You have rescued me
From the chains
Of sin and bitterness
I am still weak
But you saved me
From eternal darkness and now
I know no matter what I do
I can cry out to you
And you will come to rescue
I will pray and repent and praise
Like David in the courtyard
Like Paul and Silas in the prison
Like Miriam in the wilderness
Forever and always
Thank you for another year of Life
