Out of the depths I cry,
Lord, please heed my voice.
Look, Lord, how I sigh
to hear you and rejoice.
Out of the depths I call,
Lord, forget my sin.
Save me from this fall,
strengthen my faith within.
Out of the depths I pray,
Lord, in you I trust.
Pleading all the day,
raise me from the dust.
Out of the depths I shout,
let your mercies stream.
With me there is no doubt,
You, Lord, can redeem.
