I love You, Lord, You are my strength,
When the cords of the dark pulled me down.
The deep water rose, I called Your name,
And from Your holy place You heard the sound.

Then the mountains shook, the whole earth knew,
Heaven leaned low and would not stay —
He came riding down on the wings of the wind,
And the night split wide as He tore it away.

Out of the deep and the drowning water,
Into an open, wide-sky land —
'Cause You delighted, oh, You delighted,
To take a sinking man by the hand.

The Lord lives! Praise my Rock, the One who saves!
He drew me up from the roar of the waves —
Darkness His curtain, fire in His hand,
Who is God but the Lord, and who is the Rock but the great I Am?

Sing it high, sing it out, till the nations hear the sound:
The Lord lives! Exalted be my Savior now.
(Oh-oh, He came down — oh-oh, He came down for me.)

(Oh-oh, the Lord — oh-oh, the Lord, He lives.)
I love You, Lord, You are my strength,
Exalted be my Savior now.
