From the depths of sin and sadness, I have
called unto the Lord; { be not deaf to my poor
pleading, in your mercy, hear my voice. {2}
If you, Lord, record our sinning, who could
then before you stand? { But with you there
is forgiveness, you shall ever be revered. {2}
For the Lord, my heart is waiting, for his
word I hope and wait. { More than watchmen
wait for sunrise, I am waiting for the Lord. {2}
