O give thanks unto the Lord, for His steadfast love endures, forever and ever, alleluia.(X2) [Chorus] I prayed to the Lord, He answered me, in distress He rescued me. Lord is on my side. O He is merciful. My Saviour in my strength and He's my King. Open up the gates of righteousness. I'll go in and give Him thanks. I will declare the works of my great Saviour. Come, enter, give a joyful shout of praise
