My Promise to You

Psalm 70: Great is the Lord

“But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!”

Psalm 70:4

Where could I find better care for my soul?
Great is the Lord, great is the Lord.
Where safer harbour for calm from the storm?
Great is the Lord, great is the Lord
Where else could love be more richly known?
Where but for you and for your grace alone?

Where could I find better cure for my sin?
Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord.
Where better peace from the plague deep within?
Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord.
Where could forgiveness be greater assured?
What greater price than the blood of my Lord?

Where could I find more abundance in life?
Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord
Where for a future more richly adorned?
Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord.
What sweeter victory than death to the grave?
Oh, my soul’s pleasure, the life that you gave.
