1. I love the lord because he hears my voiceand my prayer for mercy.
2. Because he bends down to listen,I will pray as long as I have breath!
3. Death wrapped its ropes around me;the terrors of the grave overtook me.I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on the name of the lord:“Please, lord, save me!”
5. How kind the lord is! How good he is!So merciful, this God of ours!
6. The lord protects those of childlike faith;I was facing death, and he saved me.
