I WILL EXTOL YOU, O LORD

In dire need, we cry out to God in prayer;

In love, the LORD understood our cares.

He heard our prayers and He delivered;

How the LORD must be gratefully revered!

 

In desperation we cry out, because of enemies;

The LORD was our shield, He granted mercies.

The enemies did not triumph over our souls;

How the LORD must be greatly extolled!

 

Illness can lay a person very low;

Sickness can deal a terrible blow;

Our prayers were heard by God;

How we must truly extol the LORD!

 

In the valley of the shadow of death we walked;

Death was like a predator, grimly he stalked.

But God rescued us from dreaded death;

How we must extol Him with every breath!
