The Peace That Passes All Understanding

When I wander my steps you guide...
When I am sad you comfort my furrowed brow.
You have wrestled men to submission and placed them in the belly of a great fish.
Hope beyond all hope to be a servant of our gracious king.
He is worthy to be praised; He alone can save!
A comforter and peace He left us by His greatness.

Nice wording in this passage. Just capitalize the "Y" in "you" in the first and second lines since they refer to the Almighty. It would also be a good idea to capitalize the "K" in "king".
