The cords of death entwined around me... The anguish took a hold of my soul... But I called upon the Name of Jesus, And He gave me life once again. Void and dark is the mirror’s other side Suddenly I saw my expression change… A shadow’s grip was suffocating me I cried aloud: "Lord, come and set me free!" Even in the valley where the darkness lies Your Word reached down and heard my silent cries Breaking the chains, severing all the ties. O Lord, deliver my weary soul Your hands have broken what I couldn't control You gave me life, You gave me peace I was the darkness, now I am released Pure as the snow, my sorrows cease. I’ll pay my vows before Your people now I’ll take the cup of salvation and I’ll bow Within Your courts, my praises I will sing I am Your servant, free from everything. O Lord, deliver my weary soul Your hands have broken what I couldn't control You gave me life, You gave me peace I was the darkness, now I am released Pure as the snow, my sorrows cease. "Return, my soul, unto your quiet rest... For the Lord has dealt so bountifully with you. I shall walk in the land of the living, Until my cup of salvation overflows. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.”
