Meaning:
No matter how much I praise You
Or how many times I give thanks,
Could I ever repay the Lord
For all the goodness He has shown me?
1
From the hands of death
And from the arrows of the enemy,
He has protected my life,
Though I am only His humble servant.
How amazing is His mercy!
2
Even when troubles and losses come,
Even when this hostile world turns against me,
I will rejoice in the Lord.
Even in the midst of suffering,
I will praise and boast in Him.
3
When my heart is troubled and confused,
I will meditate upon the Lord within me.
I will forget my sorrow
And sing aloud
Songs of thanksgiving and praise.
4
My endless sorrow will come to an end,
And my never-ending tears will be wiped away.
I will draw near to the feet of my Lord
And live with Him forever
Through all eternity.
