You have known our souls in adversity
When we strive against You
You extend Your hand time and time again
From the heights of glory to the depths of my heart

For You have bound Yourself to man
Despite his unfaithfulness

You pour out mercy
You open Your heart
You pour out mercy to
Reveal Your heart

All man's empty promises
Lie broken at Your feet
But You have never broken one
You open up Your heart
Time and time again

You give beauty for ashes,
Garments of praise
You give infinite mercy
To those who fear Your name
