“”I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
Death wrapped its rope about me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I only saw trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, save me!”
How kind the Lord is! How good He is! So merciful, this God or ours! The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and He saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.””
(Psalm 116: vv 1-7, NLT)
