[Chorus]

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,

his love is everlasting.

[Verse 1]
Am Em
Let the house of Israel say,
Am/C Em
“His mercy endures forever.”
Am Em
Let the house of Aaron say,
Am/C Em
“His mercy endures forever.”
Am Em
Let those who fear the Lord say,
Am/C Em
“His mercy endures forever.”

[Verse 2]
Am Em
I was hard pressed and was falling,
Am/C Em
But the Lord helped me.
Am Em
My strength and my courage is the Lord,
Am/C Em
And he has been my savior.
Am Em
The joyful shout of victory
Am/C Em
In the tents of the just.

[Verse 3]
Am Em
The stone which the builders rejected
Am/C Em
Has become the cornerstone.
Am Em
By the Lord has this been done;
Am/C Em
It is wonderful in our eyes.
Am Em
This is the day the Lord has made;
Am/C Em
Let us be glad and rejoice in it.
