Psalm 116 — ’Til Death

And all is strife and pain,
Then I will call upon You, God;
I’ll call upon Your Name.
You have delivered me from death,
And saved my eyes from tears;
You kept my feet upon the path:
I walk with You, no fear.

“All men are liars,” I proclaimed.
I felt I couldn’t cope.
But, Hallelujah, praise the Lord,
For You have heard my cry,
O God, I love You ’til I die
And, if I can, beyond.
What can I offer You, my God
For all that You have done?
I’ll make my vows to You, O God,
Surrounded by Your kin.
I lift the cup of liberation,
Shout Your Name out loud;
I am Your Bride and You are Mine:
Here in Your House we’ve vowed.
And, Hallelujah, praise the Lord,
For You have heard my cry,
O God, I love You ’til I…
