about

Psalm 116

lyrics

Refrain:
I love the Keeper of Life for she hears my cry
I call on her all day and every day
I love the Keeper of Life for she hears my cry
I call on her all day and every day

Verse 1:
Oh, the fear of death had found me
The noose of death had bound me
Oh, trouble and grief up to my neck
Then I called on the Keeper of Life
She had my back
She had my back

Refrain

Verse 2:
She's all compassion and all justice
protects the simplest of us
When I was failing, she rescued me
I told myself, "Relax, be at peace.”
She's good to me
She's good to me

Refrain

Verse 3:
You've freed my life from death
You've freed my eyes from tears
You've freed my feet from stumbling on the path
So I can walk with you, with you
All through this life
All through this life

Refrain

Verse 4:
I trust the Keeper with my life
I'm remembering a bad time
I was crashing and burning, in a state
Couldn't see anyone who was good
I trusted you
I trusted you

Refrain

Verse 5:
How could I ever pay her back
for all she's given to me?
I'll lift up the cup of rescue now
Call her name as I look at the crowd
Renew my vow
Renew my vow

Refrain

Verse 6:
Oh, here I am, your servant
just like my mom before me
You freed me and smiled upon my life
So I make you this sacrifice:
My gratitude
My gratitude

Refrain

Verse 7:
Oh, accept the vows I make now
in front of this assembly
in the center of this holy place
in the midst of Jerusalem
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Refrain
