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
