My heart rejoices in the Lord my God
For He has set the captive free
from the sin of mortal tyranny
and wipe clean man's inequities
O sing my soul to the Lord my God
my spirit lies prostrate to give You laud
let Thy children's voice resound
to lift Thee praises
from the ground

Raise thy hands o sons of men
for He has freed us ...led us to a land
filled with honey and milk
precious than silver coins and gold

Sing a song to God our king
For He has cast our sins away
Let Thy words be glorified
throughout the seas and that of land
Let praise be known to Thee alone
for through You O God
all faults atone

Let Thy praises
rise to Thee
like bouquet of flowers of symphony
To Thee alone
O God of host
As far as the river vastly flow
let all man employ their praises unto Thee
That flowers bloom and spill unto Thy Holy feet and toes

For in Thee O God
love is found generously given over bounds!

And Thy mercy and Thy grace
if only we would remember
if we truly seek Thy face
To only approach
Thy sacred throne
To cast ourselves to You O God
in childlike abandon
if we truly do surrender
Then we'd know that it only takes
a moment of childlike faith
That like a father is to a son
You'd come running to claim us in Your arms
You shield us all from harm O God
like a mother shields her babe from wolves and brigands
of this world
if a mother would so hold her son
close to her breast -so intimate their communion
How much more close would Father God
hold us close
to claim and comfort His sons
when they call?

Hail the King of Kings
and God cornerstone of faith and man
In Thine alone righteousness exemplify
Let mercy forever Thy name
be glorified
Hail the Lord of creation

Hail the God of Israel
Hail the God of creation
Yes
Turn to Him alone
for in kings though their crowns and authority
override that of common mediocrity
All will vanish
all will tarnish
Only God shall forever stand strong

Sing to God
Unto Him alone
sing a triumphant song.
After receiving communion...and hugging two nuns...I leapt out of church with great joy...I leapt all the way out...

I felt the joy of the leper whom turned back to thank Jesus...though I am ungrateful most times and I am indeed prone to pride and ambition...ignorance and vice of selfishness...God is never judging or holds a grudge...He is of mercy and of love....

I wrote this while I was in the car ...on the way to dinner ....
