I love the lord because he’s heard my voice

He’s inclined his ear to my cry.

I call upon him as long as live, as long as live (rep)

Sorrows of death compassed me

Pains of hell got hold of me

I found trouble and sorrow (rep)

I call upon the name of the lord

Oh lord deliver my soul (rep2)

Gracious is he righteous and merciful

Our lord is wonderful

Our lord is merciful I was down low and he helped me out (rep)

I call upon the name of the lord

Oh lord deliver my soul (rep2)

Return to rest oh my soul

For thou has delivered me

My eyes from tears oh lord

My feet from falling.

I call upon the name of the lord

Oh lord deliver my soul (rep4)
