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
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
All the glory
