When I called You answered me

When You saw me in my need

Lord You heard me

You began a work in me

And You surely will complete

What You started

I will praise You with all of my heart

How I love to sing Your praise

I will praise You for You will complete

What You started

And when troubles press me in

You'll revive me and defend

Never leave me

When at last my race is run

May I hear You say

Well done you've been faithful

You've been faithful

O keep me near the cross

Upon my knees

And as I seek Your face

You are changing me

Let Your words O Lord be heard

Kings and nations of the world

Give You glory

Let them sing of all You've done

To the Father Spirit Son

All the glory
