I have seen, I have faced the rod
The holy wrath of God
Upon my heart, and I am dark and cold
I am scorned, and turned away
To walk in darkness deep
Instead of light, for all my days I faint
But then I call this to my mind
And hope returns, oh hope returns
The love of God preserves my life
His mercies fall out of the sky
The morning sings his faithfulness
So I will put my hope in Him
He has walled me in with stones
And weighed me down with chains
Oh heavy chains, until my hope is gone
Still I beg for sweet release
I cry and plead for help
To no avail, His answer will not come
But then I call this to my mind
And hope returns, oh hope returns
The love of God preserves my life
His mercies fall out of the sky
The morning sings his faithfulness
So I will put my hope in Him
He has ground my teeth on rocks
I cower in the dust
Deprived of peace, 'til I forget my joy
Remember, Lord recall
The wandering and pain
That cover me, and cause me to collapse
But then I call this to my mind
And hope returns, oh hope returns
The love of God preserves my life
His mercies fall out of the sky
The morning sings his faithfulness
So I will sing
The love of God preserves my life
His mercies fall out of the sky
The morning sings his faithfulness
So I will put my trust in Him
