Hear My Cry (Repentance)

Lord, I am broken, I am weak

At times out of control

My inward anguish makes me seek

To soothe the anguish of my soul.

To soothe the anguish of my soul.

All my desire to You is known,

Your eye counts every tear;

And every sigh, and every groan,

Falls clearly on Your ear.

I cry out and you hear.

You are my God, my only hope;

My God will hear my cry;

My God will bear my spirit up,

I would be lifted lest I die.

I would be lifted lest I die.

My sins, a heavy load, oppress,

Each one to You is known

They are too much, I cannot bear,

Nor make atonement on my own

Atonement rests on Christ alone!

But I'll confess my guilt and shame

And grieve for all my sin;

I'll mourn my spirit, weak and lame

May I by grace be cleansed

May I by grace be cleansed

You are my God, my only hope;

My God will hear my cry;

My God will bear my spirit up,

I would be lifted lest I die.

I ll only on my God rely

My God, forgive the time I waste

Lord be for ever nigh;

O Lord of my salvation, haste,

Oh Savior, hear my cry

My God will hear my cry!

After Isaac Watts
