"I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications... The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul... Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling" (Psalm 116:1-8).
I
love the Lord who heard my prayer
Because
He truly loved me first.
I
cried to Him in my despair
And
all my sorrows I rehearsed.
How
great was my uncertainty;
How
kind was His response of love!
My
Savior gave Himself for me;
For
me He left His Throne above.
He
heard my voice of supplication
Before
I knew Him as my Savior.
He
answered me with His salvation
And
rescued me with loving favor.
I
scarcely knew then what to say;
I
thought it might be wasted breath.
Yet
what else could I do but pray,
In
view of my approaching death?
He
heard my prayer when I was calling,
He
saved my soul and dried my tears,
He
kept my feet at last from falling,
And
rescued me from all my fears.
Lord,
thank You for the things You did
To
draw my soul now to Your throne.
Your
lovingkindness was not hid;
Your
saving grace was clearly shown.
Lord,
let Your love be magnified
To
show the world Your compassion
On
precious souls for whom You died
That
You might save them in this fashion.
