Out of the Depths

For those of you who know me well, you know that I love music. Worship is my favorite love language to the Lord, and so when I come across a new worship song that thrills my soul I can't wait to share it with my loved ones!! Our church is doing a series on the Psalms, (which has been fabulous, by the way) and all of the worship songs we have been singing are based on those poetic masterpieces!! I wanted to share the lyrics of my new favorite, called Out of the Depths. The song can be downloaded on Itunes or at Sovereign Grace Music, under the album, Pslams. I hope the words minister to your heart, as they do mine!

Out of the Depths
(Psalm 130)

Out of the depths, O Lord, I cry to You

When I am tempted to despair

Though I might fail to trust Your promises

You never fail to hear my prayer

And if You judged my sin

I’d never stand again

But I see mercy in Your hands

So more than watchmen for the morning

I will wait for You, my God

When my fears come with no warning

In Your Word I’ll put my trust

When the harvest time is over and I still see no fruit

I will wait, I will wait for You

The secret mysteries belong to You

We only know what You reveal

And all my questions that are unresolved

Don’t change the wisdom of Your will

In every trial and loss

My hope is in the cross

Where Your compassions never fail
