When I was alone in sickness and desired death.
When hope had apparently failed me, you
Oh Lord, were there for me.
I cried out to you, and your right hand lifted me up.
You saved me from the pit of despair
and brought me back to the land of the living.
You healed me and delivered me from my suffering.
Day and night I cried out to You.
You heard from Heaven and carried me in your arms.
When I grew stronger, you walked beside me with your unfailing love.
You, my Lord, are truly my Father.
The One who loves me.
In You, I find my Life, my delight and Love.
In your unfailing Love.
I have eternal life as you walk beside me.
Psalmist

Very nice. Echoes and gives voice to my own experience. Also puts me in mind of psalm 116:
1 I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2 Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
9 I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
