(Verse 1) Be merciful to me, O God, Be merciful to me. For my soul finds refuge in You, In You alone I seek relief. Under the shadow of Your wings, I'll shelter from the storm. Until these troubles pass away, Your love will keep me warm. (Verse 2) I cry unto the God Most High, The One who works for me. He sends His love from heaven above, And sets my spirit free. Though enemies surround my path, And lions roar nearby, Your truth and faithfulness, O Lord, Reach higher than the sky. (Chorus) My heart is steadfast, O my God, My heart is steadfast still. I will sing and make a melody, And praise You with my will. Awake my soul, awake and sing, Awake, O harp and lyre. I'll greet the dawn with songs of joy, And lift my voice up higher. (Verse 3) They spread a net before my feet, They dug a pit for me. But they have fallen in their own snare, While You have set me free. Your lovingkindness fills the heavens, Your faithfulness the skies. Your mercy shines beyond the clouds, Before all nations' eyes. (Chorus) My heart is steadfast, O my God, My heart is steadfast still. I will sing and make a melody, And praise You with my will. Awake my soul, awake and sing, Awake, O harp and lyre. I'll greet the dawn with songs of joy, And lift my voice up higher. (Bridge) Be exalted above the heavens, Above the earth and sea. Let all the world behold Your glory, For all eternity. (Final Chorus) My heart is steadfast, O my God, My heart is steadfast still. I will sing and make a melody, And praise You with my will. Awake my soul, awake and sing, Awake, O harp and lyre. I'll greet the dawn with songs of joy, And lift my voice up higher. (Outro) Be exalted above the heavens, Let Your glory fill the earth. Be exalted above the heavens, Let Your glory fill the earth.
