Out of the Depths

Lament · Blues Ballad · Psalms

by Daniel V.

Verse

Out of the depths, I've cried, I have prayed,

Here at this table, the waiting's long,

Lord, hear my voice through shadows cast,

Forgive the wrongs that haunt our song.

Verse 2

More than watchmen ache for dawn's return,

My soul waits, watches, and it yearns,

To catch a glimpse of mercy's hand,

Guiding through the darkness, across this land.

Bridge

Israel, hope in God, the one whose kindness stays,

Redemption's light breaks through on our darkest days.

Verse 3

If sins were tallied, who could stand?

But forgiveness flows like a gentle stream,

Reflections of love we don't understand,

In the Lord's arms, we find our dream.
