C  G  Am  C 
Am  G  C 


[Verso 1]


  C      G       Am      G 
I cried aloud to God for help; 
Am            G         C 
I prayed that God would hear. 
     C     G          Am   F  C 
When I was plunged in deep distress, 
Am           G       C 
I sought the Lord in prayer. 


[Verso 2]


   C       G           Am     G 
At night I stretched untiring hands, 
  Am      G      C 
Relief my soul refused. 
  C         G      Am   F C 
Remembring you, O God, I groaned 
     Am      G    C 
With longing as I mused. 


[Verso 3]


   C     G       Am        G 
In my distress I could not speak; 
     Am        G       C 
From sleep you kept my eye. 
  C        G        Am F   C 
I thought about the former days, 
    Am          G         C 
The years which have gone by. 


[Verso 4]


       C       G       Am     G 
Throughout the watches of the night 
   Am      G         C 
My songs I called to mind. 
  C        G       Am    F  C 
I pondered deeply, while my heart 
   Am     G        C 
An answer tried to find: 


[Verso 5]


     C    G        Am     G 
For ever will the Lord reject 
    Am    G        C 
And never show his grace? 
    C      G         Am   F    C 
Has he withdrawn his steadfast love 
    Am          G      C 
And turned from me His face? 


[Verso 6]


     C        G       Am      G 
For all time has his promise failed? 
   Am     G      C 
Is God no longer kind? 
    C         G     Am    F  C 
Has he in his great wrath dismissed 
   Am      G        C 
Compassion from his mind? 


[Verso 7]


     C     G           Am        G 
Then to my heart there came this thought: 
    Am     G      C 
On this I will rely 
    C        G         Am   F  C 
The years of the right hand of power 
   Am      G       C 
Of him who is Most High. 


[Verso 8]


  C      G        Am           G 
I will recall the LORDs great deeds 
     Am       G     C 
your works of long ago. 
     C   G       Am  F    C 
Ill meditate on all your acts; 
     Am     G          C 
your mighty deeds Ill show. 


[Verso 9]


  C         G    Am       G 
O God, most holy are your ways. 
     Am     G          C 
What god compares with you? 
    C       G      Am F C 
You are the God of miracles, 
      Am        G       C 
whose power the nations view.
