Misc Praise Songs - I once was a stranger jehovah tsidkenu

^GI onc^Ce was^G a stran^Dger to grace^G and to God, ^GI knew ^Cnot my ^Gdanger, and ^Dfelt not my ^Gload; Though f^Griends spoke in r^Amaptur^De of ^GChrist ^Con the ^Gtree^D, ^GJehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu was ^Amnothi^Dng t^Go me.

^GI oft r^Cead wit^Gh pleasure, ^Dto sooth or ^Gengage, ^GIsaiah'^Cs wild ^Gmeasure and ^DJohn's simpl^Ge page; But 'en ^Gwhen they picture^Amd the^D bloo^Gd sprin^Ckled ^Gtre^De ^GJehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu seem^Amed no^Dthin^Gg to me.

^GLike tears f^Crom the^G daughters ^Dof Zion that ^Groll, ^GI wept ^Cwhen th^Ge waters went o^Dver His so^Gul; Y^Get thought not that m^Amy sin^Ds had ^Gnailed ^Cto the ^Gtre^De ^GJehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu—'twas^Am noth^Ding ^Gto me.

^GWhen free gr^Cace awo^Gke me, by l^Dight from on ^Ghigh, ^GThen leg^Cal fears sh^Gook me, I t^Drembled to di^Ge; ^GNo refuge, no ^Amsafet^Dy in s^Gelf cou^Cld I se^Ge— ^{D G}Jehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu my Sa^Amviour^D mus^Gt be.

^GMy terro^Crs all ^Gvanished be^Dfore the swee^Gt name; ^GMy guilt^Cy fears b^Ganished, wi^Dth boldness I^G came ^GTo drink at the f^Amounta^Din, life ^Ggivi^Cng and ^Gfre^De ^GJehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu is a^Amll th^Dings to^G me.

^GJehovah^C Tsid^Gkenu! My tr^Deasure and bo^Gast, ^GJehov^Cah Tsid^Gkenu! I ne'^Der can be los^Gt; ^GIn thee I shall ^Amconqu^Der by ^Gflood a^Cnd by f^Giel^Dd, ^GMy ca^Cble, my a^Gnchor, my br^Ameast—^Dplate and ^Gshield!

^GEven treadin^Cg the va^Glley, the s^Amhado^Dw of de^Gath, ^GThis watchwo^Crd shall r^Gally my fa^Amlteri^Dng brea^Gth; ^GFor while from life's ^Amfeve^Dr my G^God s^Cets me ^Gfre^De, ^GJehov^Cah T^Gsidkenu, my ^Amdeath s^Dong shall ^Gbe.
