Radiant With Joy
Dear Lord, I trust in You alone!
Don't let my enemies and my sins get the best of me.
Rescue me because You are my God
who does what is right!  Blessed be thee!

When I cry to You, O Lord, bend low
and hear my whispered plea - be my rock of safety from my foes.
Yes, you are my rock of safety
for how ever long my life goes.

You keep me from peril and pull me from the traps
which the evil one has set - I won't forget!
Only You alone are strong enough;
into your hands I commit my spirit.

You have rescued me, O God, who keeps His promises.
I worship only you - How You hate the ungodly so.
Those who worship idols, imitation gods,
they don't know.

But I am radiant with joy because of Your mercy,
for you have listened to my troubles and seen the crises in my soul.
You have not handed me over to my enemies,
for you are in control.
