Thanking God
I cried to you, O Lord;
Oh how I pled!
For what will you gain, O Lord,
from killing me - I'll be dead.

How can dust in the grave speak out
and tell the world about Your faithfulness?
Hear me, Lord, Oh have pity
and help me!  Please do, yes!

Then He turned my sorrow into joy!  He took away my clothes
and gave me wonderful garmets to rejoice in.
Then I could sing glad praises to the Lord
instead of being in the grave full of sin.

But I confessed my sins
and asked the Lord to save me from the pit.
O Lord, my God, I will keep thanking you forever
I will never quit!
