And it serves to remind me
That what I have means nothing at all
Compared to Your glory, Oh Lord
How long till Your voice speaks clearly
How long till Your arms envelop me
I cry, be my strength when I am weak
Oh Lord, have mercy on me please
I cry in Your arms now
God, grant me the strength to rest in You
I lift my hands and cry
How long till Your voice speaks clearly
How long till Your arms envelop me
I cry, be my strength when I am weak
Oh Lord, have mercy on me please
It’s Your voice I hear calling my name
It’s Your grace that pours out like the rain
It’s Your hand that erases my shame
It’s Your word that is everlasting
It’s Your voice I hear calling my name
It’s Your grace that pours out like the rain
It’s Your hand that erases my shame
It’s Your word that is everlasting
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
