Lyrics

In my distress I called to the Lord
And he answered me
From deep in the realm of the dead
I called for help
And you listened to my cry

Instrumental

You hurled me into the depths
Into the heart of the seas,
The currents swirled about me
Your waves and breakers swept over me.

I said, ‘I have been banished
'From your sight;
'Yet I will look again toward
'Your holy temple.'

Instrumental

Engulfing waters threatened me
And the deep surrounded me
Seaweed was wrapped around my head

To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
And the earth barred me in
But you, O Lord my God,
Brought my life up from the pit

Instrumental

When my life was ebbing away
I remembered you, Lord
And my prayer rose to you
To your holy temple.

Instrumental

Those who cling to worthless idols
Turn away from God’s love for them
But I, with shouts of grateful praise
Will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’
