Thou Hearest My Cry

Verse 1 I have wandered far from righteousness, And the weight of sin lies heavy on my soul. Unto Thee I bring this broken heart, O Lord, Thou alone canst make me whole. Pre Chorus Thou seest every shadow within me, Every secret I thought was hid. Chorus Wash me in mercy, Let Thy love fall like rain. Take this heart of stone And make it live again. Lift me from the ashes, Let Thy Spirit draw me in. I cry unto Thee in darkness — Make me new again. Verse 2 I know the paths where I have faltered, I know the hurt my hands have wrought. Yet Thou dost not forsake the contrite soul, But meetest me with grace I never sought. Pre Chorus Thou desirest truth in the inward parts, Teach me wisdom deep within. Chorus Wash me in mercy, Let Thy love fall like rain. Take this heart of stone And make it live again. Lift me from the ashes, Let Thy Spirit draw me in. I cry unto Thee in darkness — Make me new again. Bridge Open Thou my lips, that I may praise Thee, Let joy arise where sorrow lived. Restorest unto me the song I carried, Give me back the life Thou givest. Final Chorus Wash me in mercy, Let Thy love fall like rain. Take this heart of stone And make it live again. Lift me from the ashes, Let Thy Spirit draw me in. I cry unto Thee in darkness — Make me new again.
