I love you, O Lord, you alone, my refuge on whom I depend; my Maker, my Saviour, my own, my hope and my trust without end. The Lord is my strength and my song, defender and guide of my ways; my Master to whom I Belong, My God who shall have all my praise. The dangers of death gathered round, the waves of destruction came near; but in my despairing I found the Lord who released me from fear. I called for his help in my pain, to God my salvation I cried; he brought me his comfort again, I live by strength he supplied. The earth and the elements shake with thunder and lightning and hail; the cliffs and the mountaintops break and mortals are feeble and pale. God's justice is full and complete, his mercy to us has no end; the clouds are a path for his fee, he comes on the wings of the wind. My hope is the promise he gives, my life is secure in his hand; I shall not be lost, for he lives! He comes to my side- I shall stand! Lord God, you are powerful to save; your Spirit will spur me to pray; your Son has defeated the grave: I trust and I praise you today.
