Behold Our Sore Distress (Hymn Core Music) ✝

[Brief Intro] [Verse 1] Dear Lord! behold our sore distress; Our sins attempt to reign; Stretch out thine arm of conquering grace, And let thy foes be slain. [Pre Chorus] The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. [Chorus] Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] If thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior's blood; An Advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. [Verse 3] He brought the Spirit's powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath thy word, And hell in vain oppose. [Pre Chorus] The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. [Chorus] Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye? [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 4] How boundless is our Father's grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength. [Verse 5] The end of the world. Why should this earth delight us so? Why should we fix our eyes On these low grounds where sorrows grow, And every pleasure dies? -And every pleasure dies? [Pre Chorus] The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. [Chorus] [Outro] Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye? [Fade Out] [Fade Out]
