Poetry

---

I give You thanks with my whole heart,
I sing Your praise for You O Lord;
Lips and tongue utter to impart,
For praising You in one accord.

I worship You in Your temple,
Giving You thanks unto Your name;
Your steadfast love to Your people,
Your faithfulness that we proclaim.

You are noble above all things,
My strength of my soul You increase;
For my outcry when I call brings,
My heart and soul eternal peace.

All of the rulers of the place,
Shall give thanks unto You O Lord;
Paying homage about His grace,
Allow Him not to be ignored.

I have heard the Word from Your tongue,
We shall sing to Your great Honor;
In the gentle breeze it is flung,
Conveys grandness to each fawner.

Even though that the Lord is high,
He shows respect to the lowly;
From afar the haughty will cry,
But He ignores the unholy.

I walk in the midst of strife,
You stretch Your hand against the wrath;
Constantly preserving my life,
Against enemies in my path.

You fulfill Your purpose for me,
Your mercy endures forever;
Forsake not Your work of my plea,
Never let the bonds to sever.
