Psalm 116 (I Love the Lord For He Has Heard Me)

I love the Lord, for He heard me
He heard my cry for mercy
Because He turned His ear to me
I will call on Him

The cords of death, they entangled me
The anguish of the grave was upon me
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow
Then I called on Your name

O, Lord, rescue me
O, Lord, rescue me
O, Lord, rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

The Lord is gracious and righteous
He is full of compassion
The Lord protects the simple hearted
When I was in need, He saved me

So be at rest once more, my soul
For the Lord's been good to you
So be at rest once more, my soul
O, my soul
O, my soul

For You have saved my soul from death
You have saved my eyes from tears
And You have saved my feet from stumbling
That I may walk before the Lord
