As the watchmen

From the depths I cry
In my pain I sigh
It is dark tonight as I pray
O god, bend your ear
I plead for you to hear
As I make my appeal for mercy

If you were to count every one of my iniquities
O god, I could not stand
But with you there is forgiveness and mercy
Than you may be feared

As the watchmen wait for the sun to shine
I know your mercy will arise
I know your mercy will arise
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait and in your word I’ll hope
I’ll wait and in your word I’ll hope

I will hope in the lord
I know he will restore
Though I am on the floor grieving sin
I know he will redeem
I know he has made me clean
Not feeling the relief but I believe

‘Cause I know one day the sun will stop shining
And soon the morning will not appear
But on that day your love will prove unending
‘Cause like the dawn your love will arise
Like the dawn your love will arise
Like the dawn your mercy will rise
Like the dawn your mercy will rise
