Thy Love Endures Forever Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Thanks Thou my Lord, for Thou art good,
Thy love endures forever.

Israel, repeat me
Thy love endures forever.

Aaron, say after me
Thy love endures forever.

Let those who fear the Lord say
Thy love endures forever.

When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord,
he brought me into a spacious place.

The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

The Lord is with me, he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

They swarmed around me like bees,
but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns,

in the name of the Lord
I cut them down.

I was pushed back and about to fall,
but I keep praying and the Lord helped me.

Do never simulate,
the Lord knows everything

before we pray and start talking to the Lord
He knows our heart and secrets

He is my greatest Inspiration
Dear Lord, Thy love endures forever!
