Help Divine

I lift my eyes to the heavens
Where will help come from
My heart cries out in silence
Like a servant waiting for a hand
Like dry land waiting for bread

O Lord
Your grace is what sustains us
Your mercy is our answer

Our weary soul cries
The weight of contempt lingers
But in You
O Lord
We find peace
May the laughter of the haughty be silenced
May Your justice never fail
O Lord

Our souls weary of oppression
Live in the shadow of Your hand
Lead us beyond the dark valley
Your gaze is like the dawn
Your goodness makes the night give way

O Lord
Your grace is what sustains us
Your mercy is our answer

Our weary soul cries
The weight of contempt lingers
But in You
O Lord
We find peace
May the laughter of the haughty be silenced
May Your justice never fail
Our weary soul cries
The weight of contempt lingers
But In You
O Lord
We find peace
Let the laughter of the haughty be silenced
May Your justice never fail
O Lord

Have mercy on us
O Lord, have mercy on us, for we are so full of contempt
Have mercy on us
O Lord, have mercy on us, for we are so full of contempt
Have mercy on us
O Lord, have mercy on us, for we are so full of contempt

Our weary soul cries
The weight of contempt lingers
But in You
O Lord
We find peace
Let the laughter of the haughty be silenced
May Your justice never fail
O Lord
