For your sake, my God, do not delay!" 🎼 Full Lyrics & Structure Tempo: 72 BPM | Vibe: Humble, honest, reverent — no pride, only longing [Verse 1] (quiet, breathy, close to the mic) I bow my head, Lord, before Your throne Great and awesome, faithful to Your own You keep Your covenant, love from age to age Yet we have turned, we have walked in the dark We have sinned, we have done what is wrong Rebelled against You, refused to belong Your words we’ve ignored, Your ways we’ve forgotten Pride in our hearts, our eyes have been hardened [Pre-Chorus] (cello begins to swell softly) Not for our goodness, not for our worth We come before You, Lord of the earth Only Your mercy, only Your grace Is our hope now, in this place [Chorus] (rising, heartfelt but still gentle) Lord, hear the prayer that Your servant now prays Turn Your face toward us, brighten our days We have stumbled, we’ve fallen so far Yet we call on the name of the God who is Great is Your love, great is Your faithfulness Forgive us, restore us, Lord, do not delay We are Yours, we are Yours always [Verse 2] You brought us out, You led us by hand Gave us Your promise, gave us the land But we forgot You, we served our own way And now we bear the cost of our wandering days Shame is close, Lord, and walls stand tall But Your mercies are new every morning, all I am but dust, I am but one man Yet I plead for the people who don’t understand [Pre-Chorus] Not for our righteousness, not for our deeds We ask for healing, we ask for Your peace For Your own name’s sake, Lord, act now we pray For You are our God, and You are the Way [Bridge] (softest, almost whispered — cello carries the emotion) You are the God who keeps His covenant Even when we break it, You remain constant You are great, You are glorious All the earth is filled with Your glory, Lord We have sinned, yes, we have sinned deeply But we trust in Your mercy, endlessly… [Chorus — Reprise] (slightly fuller, voice trembling with hope) Lord, hear the prayer that Your servant now prays Turn Your face toward us, brighten our days We have stumbled, we’ve fallen so far Yet we call on the name of the God who is Great is Your love, great is Your faithfulness Forgive us, restore us, Lord, do not delay We are Yours, we are Yours always [Outro] (fading, guitar only, then soft cello final note) For Your sake, O Lord… not ours… For Your great name… Amen… amen…
