PSALM - THE LORD HEARS
The Lord hears my cries in the darkness and leads to the light,
He hears me when alone and desolate and sends love to me,
I cry unto Him in pain and His comforting arms soothe my soul,
In the heat of the battle He leads me and preserves my life.

So surely I should praise Him, shout hosanna to His name,
Give homage to His greatness and the goodness of His ways,
For He is my refuge, my strength, my Redeemer and my friend,
I’ll lift my voice in adoration, and long to see His face.

For with God beside me there is no darkness, just pure sweet light
As He leads me forward, my feet He plants on the safe way,
The sun shines to warm me, not to hurt me or to destroy,
His arms are outstretched in goodness and eternal love.

Why should we mourn, why should our hearts have sorrow,
When He is our God and knows our every need each day,
Rejoice all ye nations in suffering for then we do grow,
Let all proclaim His glory and glorify His holy name.
