Of praise

Through the hardest of days
and bleakest of nights
Ever you’re with me
None rival your might

When I lose my way
Harbour sin in my heart
Still you wait for me
That we need not part

Held in your arms
Is my safest refuge
No matter the trial
How fearsome, how huge

Just as you call me
Out in the storm
Steady my weakness
In this human form

I desire to be with you
I know that is heaven
At my soul’s door you’re knocking
And you I shall let in

Forgive me my trespasses
And failings of flesh
You’ve paid for my sin
And the wages was death

My gifts I boast not of
For but gifts they are
From a merciful father
Running t’wards me from afar

O God how I love thee
Mind, body spirit and soul
And O how I’ll sing for you
When these bones grow old

You are my shepherd
So I shall not want
Your cup is of life
Your spirit, the font

Help me to do
All I do for your glory
If I tell but one
May it be your story
