Your love I call to mind And therefore I have hope Your love I call to mind Oh Yahweh of my life When I’m weighed down with sorrow Your mercies lift me up! Remember my affliction The wormwood and the gall Please care about my sorrow That weighs upon my heart For you put out the light When I walked in your path You aged my flesh and bones And gave me rage and wrath How heavy is the chain By which you hedged me in And even when I’d pray You seemed to hide away You’ve acted like the lion Who stalks to tear his prey You’ve pierced me like the hunter My armor could not stay The arrows that have pierced me Your love I call to mind Your love I call to mind Oh Yahweh of my life When I’m weighed down with sorrow Your mercies lift me up! For nothing can resist The weapons that you use against The people you enlist. For though you’ve treated me As if I’m enemy In fact you’ve humbled me And you’ve supported me Your strength you’ve given me You’ve purified my soul For you do not cast off The children of your breast You grieve to cause us grief When you put us to the test Because of your great mercy You show us great compassion You wound but for a moment! Unfailing is your love! Unfailing is your love! Your love I call to mind Your love I call to mind Your love I call to mind Oh Yahweh of my life Your love I call to mind Oh Yahweh of my life When I’m weighed down with sorrow Your mercies lift me up! Oh thank you for your love Oh thank you for your love Oh Jesus, for your blood Oh Jesus, for your blood To seal my hope of glory To seal my hope of glory You rose to lift me up! Oh thank you for your love Oh Jesus, for your blood To seal my hope of glory You rose to raise me up! Your love I call to mind And therefore I have hope!
