Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story...

... for He's been good to us.

I could think of no better way to end the night, than with a passage that resonates deeply within, an expression of gratitude for the Lord of and in the storms, the One who will never leave us out at sea, for when we cry out to the Lord, He delivers us... Let us give thanks and praise His Holy name.

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe...

Some wandered in desert wastelands,
finding no way to a city where they could settle.

They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for humankind,

for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,

because they rebelled against God's commands
and despised the plans of the Most High.

So he subjected them to bitter labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.

He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
and broke away their chains.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for humankind,

for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron...

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for humankind...

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story..."

For He's been good to us.
