O Lord, have mercy on me
In you O God I hide
Beneath the shadow of your wings
I’ll shelter at your side
To God I cry aloud
His plan for me is good
He sends from heaven and rescues me
from those who seek my blood
I hear those lions roar
They’re hungry for my life
their teeth are spears and arrows and
their tongues are sharp as knives
A trap they’ve dug for me
a pit before my feet
But they were caught instead of me
I look on their defeat
Above the brightest heavens
Your name is lifted high
Your glory fills the earth O God
and reaches to the skies
My heart is fixed, O God
You will not let me stray
I’ll wake the dawn to sing your praise
O keep me in your way
I’m singing in the streets
A song of joy and praise
The wonder of your faithful love
I’ll sing through endless days
Above the brightest heavens
Your name is lifted high
Your glory fills the earth O God
and reaches to the skies
