I love God because he listened to me,listened as I begged for mercy.He listened so intentlyas I laid out my case before him.Death stared me in the face,hell was hard on my heels.Up against it, I didn’t know which way to turn;then I called out to God for help:“Please, God!” I cried out.“Save my life!”God is gracious—it is he who makes things right,our most compassionate God.God takes the side of the helpless;when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.
