I CRIED unto the Lord my God, I raised my voice in prayer, I showed Him all my troubled paths, Who for my soul did care.
My spirit overwhelmed with grief, Was more than I could bear, But in this world I knew of none Who for my soul could care.
I turned from vanities of earth, And pleasures light as air, And asked the Lord to be my God, And for my soul to care.
‘O be my refuge from all guilt, And lift me from despair; Be Thou my only portion here, And for my lost soul care.
‘A weak and helpless sinner I, Held in the tempter’s snare; O bring me out of bondage, Thou Who for my soul can care.’
A life so new and so divine, With blessings high and fair, Descended from my pardoning God, Who for my soul did care!
