A song I raise
To God in praise
For his goodness
And faithfulness.
For it is God
And not my luck
Spirit of God
And not my work.
If not for God
Bless'd be his name
On whom I called
In fiery flame
Consumed I'd be
As a stubble
Hewn as the tree
In the jungle.
They gaped at me
They bared their teeth
You came for me
And spoiled their feast.
Wide is their maw
Big their belly
You break their jaw
Save my darling
Who is nothing.
Whose life is fraught
Falling, rising...
My person's naught
Before God thee,
But I trust you
And You love me,
When I stumble'
My sway you stayed
Save me from pain
Sometimes I strayed
You brought me 'gain.
Clothing my shame
With your glory
Feeding my frame
With words holy.
A saving grace
Thy name revered
The righteous race
safe as entered.
JEHOVAH-
Nissi, Shammah
God my banner
He's always there.
