Key: G

Refrain
My soul will magnify the Lord
I will sing and give thanks unto His name
He has rescued me from the gates of death
His love endures forevermore

Verse 1
I wandered in a waste land,
finding no home in city or town
my life was going nowhere
I could not settle down
So hungry and thirsty, my energy ebbed away
Then I cried to the Lord
and He delivered me that day

verse 2
in darkness and in deepest gloom
a prisoner was I
suffering and bound in chains
I had rebelled against God Most High
Worn out from working like a slave
Alone and so afraid
Then I cried to the Lord
and He came to my aid

verse 3
so foolish and rebellious
I followed sinful ways
In terrible pain I hated food
I could not live another day
In serious trouble I would have been in my grave
Then I cried to the Lord
And from my distress was saved

Verse 4
I travelled over land and sea
And saw God’s wonderful deeds
But then there came a terrible storm
And I was in desperate need
Tossed about by the mighty waves
My courage melted away
Then I cried to the Lord
And the sea hushed, His voice obeyed
