Song of Praise

Song of Praise

 

O Lord!

You are my God!

I will give You praise.

In my helplessness, 

You are my defense;

In the heat of the day, my shade;

Through the storm, my refuge.

I praise Your Holy Name.

You wipe away my tears,

Remove my fears,

Establish my years.

You turn my weariness into hope,

My sadness into joy,

My woe into song.

You are my strength in need, 

In heartache,

In trouble.

O Lord!

You are there.

You are my God,

And I will praise Your Holy Name.
