"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side... the stream had gone over our soul... Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 124:1-8).
Our soul was entrapped as bird that was snared,
But we have escaped, for the snare has been broken!
Our help came from heaven because our Lord cared
And rescued our souls as the prophets had spoken.
Our Lord who made heaven and earth merely spoke,
And all of creation could thereby begin.
Yet only by coming from heaven He broke
The snare that condemned us and held us in sin.
If it had not been the Lord on our side,
If help had not come from heaven above,
Surely in hopelessness we would have died!
Praise God for the help of His infinite love!
