PSALM SEVENTY-SEVEN

I'm raised in Christ,
Arise what might
In the night when I stretch out my hand.
He covers me over
When I'm overcome,
Is my breath when my breath's been taken.

Then You call to remembrance
The songs that I sang
In the years of Your right hand, O God,
Of Your favor, Your mercy,
Your promise, Your grace-
Oh, Who is so great a God
As our God!

Unceasing I seek You,
You're already there.
I declare this, "Your strength's never broken!"
The waters would flood,
But the waters saw God,
They parted, "Delivered" 's been spoken.

Then You call to remembrance
The songs that I sang
In the years of Your right hand, O God,
Of Your favor, Your mercy,
Your promise, Your grace-
Oh, Who is so great a God
As our God!

Your path's in the deep;
Your way's in the sea;
Your footsteps unknown
But You lead to shore.
Your voice thunders in the whirling wind;
My night is lit by the light of my Lord.

Then You call to remembrance
The songs that I sang
In the years of Your right hand, O God,
Of Your favor, Your mercy,
Your promise, Your grace-
Oh, Who is so great a God
As our God!

PSALM ONE-HUNDRED THREE

High and lofty
God Who Is
And inhabits eternity,
Revives my spirit, revives my heart
And makes His home in me.

Your arms, stretched wide
On the cross of grace,
Close now around me
In claiming embrace.
Love's dance in Your eyes
Moves like a flame;
With Your song on my lips
I'll praise Your name.

You've seen my ways,
You're my first need;
Without You I'm bound up and broken.
But, "I will heal.  I will lead,"
My savior's word has spoken.

Your arms, stretched wide
On the cross of grace,
Close now around me
In claiming embrace.
Love's dance in Your eyes
Moves like a flame;
With Your song on my lips
I'll praise Your name.

My name is scrolled
In the book of Life.
I live!  I live! Oh yes, I live!
Your salvation, O God, sets the humble on high.
I receive all the peace and grace You give.

Your arms, stretched wide
On the cross of grace,
Close now around me
In claiming embrace.
Love's dance in Your eyes
Moves like a flame;
With Your song on my lips
I'll praise Your name.
