Mercy Answers Me (Psalm 28)

To

you,

Lord, I call,

Solid Rock against the dark,

Do not turn away.

Praise be to the Lord,

He has heard

my pleading word,

Mercy answers me.

Hands raised

to Your Place,

Crying out

for Mercy’s grace,

Hear my urgent plea.

Strength and shining shield,

In His Arms,

my fears are healed,

Songs of joy awake.

(ooh) Smooth words hide the trap,

Wicked hearts

with malice snap,

Keep me far from them.

Repay every deed,

Root out all their evil seed,

Let their work return.

Blind to what You do,

They will fall and break in two,

Never raised again.

Praise be to the Lord,

He has heard

my pleading word,

Mercy answers me.

Strength and shining shield,

In His Arms, my fears are healed,

Songs of joy awake.

Strength for all His own,

Safe beside the Chosen Throne,

Saved by His strong Hand.

Shepherd of the flock,

Carry us upon the rock,

Bless us evermore. (ahhhh)
