My heart is steadfast, O, God
I'll sing praises up to thee among the nations
I'll give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples
I'll sing praises up to thee within my soul
For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens
Thy truth, it reaches to the skies
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens
And thy glory over all the Earth, that those who love may be delivered
Save with thy right hand and answer me
Whoa, oh, whoa
My heart is steadfast, O, God
I'll sing praises up to thee among the nations
I'll give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples
I'll sing praises up to thee within my soul
For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens
Thy truth, it reaches to the skies
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens
And thy glory over all the Earth, that those who love may be delivered
Save with thy right hand and answer me
And thy glory over all the Earth, that those who love may be delivered
Save with thy right hand and answer me
