Set Free

Set Free

Lift up my soul to you O Lord;
In you is my spirit is restored.
My enemies fall to the dust;
In you, O my God do I trust.

The wicked are put to shame,
But the wise praise your name.
Reveal and teach me your ways,
That I may follow you all my days.

Guide my life and my behavior,
For you alone are my Savior.
Remember your great mercy and love,
And stand guard from heaven above.

Remember not the sins of my youth,
But instruct this sinner with your truth.
According to your love, remember me;
For the sake of your name forgive me.

I have no fear with you by my side,
Nor will your great love will I hide.
Though lonely and far from home,
You are with me, I never walk alone.

Let your child not be put to shame,
My hope and refuge is in your name.
Your covenant you revealed to me;
It was by your blood I was set free.
