[Verse]
Out of the depths I cry
LORD, hear my wretched cry!
Out of the depths, out of the depths, the depths—
Lean down to hear—
[Chorus]
This grieving supplicant;
LORD—! Keep Your covenant;
O, turn Your ear to my unworthy plea!
[Verse]
LORD, if You kept a list—
Recording every sin,
If you kept a list—
How could we stand?
Could we stand, could we?—
[Chorus]
Yet, with You—there is found
Forgiveness of renown,
So that in reverence, we will live for You.
[Verse]
I wait upon the LORD;
My body, soul, and being
I wait in hope on God—
For in His word—
[Chorus]
He offers openings.
What will His mercy bring?
I wait like watchmen wait for morning light.
[Verse]
Let Israel hope in His
Forgiving kindness;
Like I am trusting, I am hoping His
Mercy is good!
[Chorus]
Offering steadfast love,
Redeeming souls for love,
And He shall rescue Israel from their sins.
