Give thanks unto the Lord,
His loyal love endures;
As He is loved and adored,
Any trouble He cures.
Let the family say,
His loyal love endures;
Always trust and obey,
In all of His grandeurs.
A loyal follower,
Is one of His treasures,
Being a hallower,
His loyal love endures.
I cry out in distress,
And the Lord answered me;
Confessing my transgress,
Pardon iniquity.
He put me in my place,
My eyes were opened wide;
Gave me mercy and grace,
Proof He was on my side.
I cannot be afraid,
No one can do to me;
Renders comfort and aid,
Giving insight to see.
The Lord is on my side,
Helping me to prevail;
Enabled to provide,
His decrees in detail.
Better to trust the Lord,
Than to have trust in man;
Walking in one accord,
For following His plan.
Let Him be your refuge,
In His sanctuary;
When there is a deluge,
From burdens you carry.
They have surrounded me,
But I can destroy them;
The Lord makes His decree,
And able to condemn.
The Lord gives me the might,
To be my foundation;
Guiding me to the light,
Being my salvation.
