Even then... my heart shall sing

[A Psalm of Praise unto to the Lord in times of trouble]


Why so downcast oh my soul
Put your hope in the Lord
The glory and lifter of your head

When your heart cries
He who collects your tears in a bottle, hears...
When your heart aches
He who watches over you, understands...

Even when your heart condemns you
Know that you are the rose
You are the lily of the valley, His inheritance

Who is there like You O Lord
Who can compare with Your majesty
King of kings yet befriending hearts that are after You

Your searching eyes
Looking for the poor in the spirit and contrite in heart
Looking for those who tremble at Your word

Arise oh heart, arise and sing
Sing with all your might
For blessed is the name of the Lord

Your name is like a tower I run to
And find strength
Your love is like a banner over me
And I am safe
