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!
