The Lord protects the simple hearts I was helpless so He saved me The Lord protects the simple hearts How gracious is the Lord They surrounded me, the snares of death With the anguish of the tomb They caught me, sorrow and distress I called on the name of the Lord The Lord protects the simple hearts I was helpless so He saved me The Lord protects the simple hearts How gracious is the Lord Turn back my soul now to your rest For the Lord has been good He has kept my soul from death And my eyes from sorrow's tears The Lord protects the simple hearts I was helpless so He saved me The Lord protects the simple hearts How gracious is the Lord I love the Lord For He has heard my cry The Lord protects the simple hearts How gracious is the Lord How gracious is the Lord
