When
RE-VEMBER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will look unto the Lord
I will wait for the God of my salvation
I know my God will hear me
Hope, holds you down
Lest you fall
I, crumble
As I fall
Your Words are light unto my soul
He will turn again
He will have mercy upon us, once more
Casting our sins
Into the depths of the sea
You who thought that I would deny, oh my enemy
What has become of thee?
Oh, oh, oh
You who thought that I would deny
Repent while the day's still today
Rebellion dissipates and
The just shall live by his faith
Rejoice not against me, my enemy
For when I fall, I shall arise
When I sit in darkness, oh
The Lord shall be a light, unto me
I will bear, Your indignation Lord
For I have sinned against Him
Until He plead my cause and judge
For me He will bring forth, to the light and I shall
Behold His righteousness, oh
You who thought that I would deny
Repent while the day's still today
Rebellion dissipates and
The just shall live by his faith, oh
Rejoice not against me, my enemy
For when I fall, I shall arise




When I sit in darkness, oh
The Lord shall be a light, unto me
