Text: | I Love the Lord |
Tune: | [I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal] |
Composer: | Paschal Jordan |
I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal;
For he turned his ear to me in the day when I called to him.
They surrounded me, the nares of death, with the anguish of the tomb;
They caught me, sorrow and distress.
I called on the Lord's name: O Lord my God, deliver me!
Refrain:
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
How gracious is the Lord and just; our God has compassion.
The Lord protects the simple hearts;
I was helpless so he saved me.
Turn back, my soul to your rest, for the Lord has been good to you;
He has kept my sol from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
