Deliverance Declaration

Fits tune: Regent Square

('Lord of beauty, Thine the splendour')

Part of Psalm 30

********

I will extol you, O LORD, great

You lifted me up, my state

Here my foes rejoice not o'er me

You heard my cry, me did see

And have healed me, raised me up sure

You save my soul evermore

 

From the grave you have up brought me

Kept me alive, here I be

So sing to the LORD, we shall do

He does save, and does renew

At remembrance of Him holy

Give thanks you saints, His you be

 

For His anger for a moment

Endures, favour He has sent

In His favour there is life bright

Weeping may endure a night

But joy comes then in the morning

Rise from darkness, to Him sing

 

Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me

Come to me, my helper be

You for me my mourning have turned

Into dancing, grace unearned

And my sackcloth you discarded

With gladness you me girded

 

So that then my tongue, my glory

May praise you, your goodness see

And I shall not silent here be

But shall worship strong and free

O LORD my God, everlasting

Thanks for ever I you bring

    His anger does endure
    Ask moses after forty years
    He can be as merciless
    To the towns and kingdoms
    That think their Golden God is best
    But eternal does he bless
    All his love
    And not one drop less
    Holy Father hear my plea
    Share you saving grace with me

      A lovely presentation of faith. That psalm is a comfort to many today.
