From Psalm 107, a part of the Hebrew Songbook
Thank God. She is so good! Her love
never runs out.
All of you who have been set free by
God – tell everyone!
Tell the people around you how God
freed you from oppression,
And then rounded you up from all over
the place,
From the four winds, from the seven
seas.
Some of you have wandered for years
in deserts,
Looking but not finding a good place
to live and rest.
Half-starved, parched with thirst,
Staggering and stumbling, on the
brink of exhaustion.
And when you were desperate – you
called out to God.
She got you out in the nick of time;
She put your feet on a beautiful road
That took you straight to a good
place to make your life.
So, thank God for her marvelous love
for you!
For her miracle mercy to the children
she loves!
Some of you were locked in a dark
cell,
Cruelly confined behind bars,
A hard sentence, and your hearts so
heavy,
And not a soul in sight to help.
And when you were desperate – you
called out to God.
She got you out in the nick of time;
She led you out of your dark, dark
cell,
Broke open the jail and led you out.
So, thank God for her marvelous love
for you!
For her miracle mercy to the children
she loves!
She shattered the heavy jailhouse
doors,
And snapped the prison bars like
matchsticks!
Some of you were feeling sick because
of how life had turned out,
Your bodies feeling the effects of
how you were living.
You couldn’t even stand the sight of
food.
You were so miserable you thought
you'd be better off dead.
And when you were desperate – you
called out to God.
She got you out in the nick of time;
She spoke the word that healed you,
The words that pulled you back from
the brink of death.
So, thank God for her marvelous love
for you!
For her miracle mercy to the children
she loves!
Give gifts to God, as acts of thanks;
Tell the world what she’s done – sing
– celebrate!
