1-4. Take my side, God—I’m getting kicked around,stomped on every day.Not a day goes bybut somebody beats me up;They make it their dutyto beat me up.When I get really afraidI come to you in trust.I’m proud to praise God;fearless now, I trust in God.What can mere mortals do?
10-11. I’m proud to praise God,proud to praise God.Fearless now, I trust in God;what can mere mortals do to me?
12-13. God, you did everything you promised,and I’m thanking you with all my heart.You pulled me from the brink of death,my feet from the cliff-edge of doom.Now I stroll at leisure with Godin the sunlit fields of life.
