1-2. I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart,I’m writing the book on your wonders.I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy;I’m singing your song, High God.
11-12. Sing your songs to Zion-dwelling God,tell his stories to everyone you meet:How he tracks down killersyet keeps his eye on us,registers every whimper and moan.
13-14. Be kind to me, God;I’ve been kicked around long enough.Once you’ve pulled me backfrom the gates of death,I’ll write the book on Hallelujahs;on the corner of Main and FirstI’ll hold a street meeting;I’ll be the song leader; we’ll fill the airwith salvation songs.
