PSALM 107 THE LORD DELIVERS
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
For his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
-Psalm 107:1-9

WHEN YOU CRY TO THE LORD by ILMA
The Lord is good and steadfast in his love which endures forever
Give him gratitude and praise and you will thrive even as you suffer
Remember how you have wandered in deserts and have no dwellings?
You were hungry and thirsty and your whole being almost fainted.
When you cried out to the Lord during these troubled times, he listened
He delivered you from your distress and led you to a straight way to travel
Thank the Lord for he is the only one who can satisfy your whole being
Never forget all the good deeds and wonders he did especially his blessings.
When you cry out to the Lord, he hears you but often miss his answer
You focus on your expected outcome and miss out on the actual response
Trust in the Lord for he knows what is best for you; he is all powerful
Be grateful that the Lord’s love for you is steadfast and unconditional.
