Minister: Lift up your hearts!
Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord!
Now here Your Word is like a lamp
That guides my feet in truth.
It lights the path before me here,
It shows the way through darkest night
That I may safely come to You.
This oath I took, that I will do
Whatever You require,
That I will keep Your judgments right,
That I will hold Your law in faith
And never let Your statutes go.
I am afflicted very much,
So bring back life, oh Lord.
According to Your gracious Word,
Come now in grace, deliver me.
And show Your promises are true.
Accept, oh Lord, my verbal praise,
A freewill offering.
Teach me Your truth, Your judgments right,
My soul remains in my right hand,
But I will not forget Your law.
The wicked lay their snares for me,
But I refuse to stray.
Your testimonies I receive,
They are the joy of all my heart.
I hold Your statutes to the end.
And so, gracious Father, we worship You now through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end, amen
