Lyrics

Verse 1 While o'er our guilty land, O Lord, we view the terrors of Your sword, O where can all the helpless fly? To whom but You direct their cry? Verse 2 On You, our guardian God, we call, before Your throne of grace we fall; But is there no deliv'rance there? And must we perish in despair? Verse 3 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn; to our forsaken God we turn; O spare our guilty country, spare the Church which You have planted there. Verse 4 We are the old, the sick, the lame; we blind and deaf cry Jesus' Name. We plead Your mercy for His sake, and trust that You will not forsake. Verse 5 Christ is our only righteousness, His death for us is our redress. Your promise stronger than our sin; blot out O Lord what we have been. Verse 6 We are your children after all, redeemed by Christ after the fall. Marked with Your Name in Baptism, our home remains in Your Kingdom....

Adoption is the heart of the gospel, built on the foundation that God, in all His fullness, offers us a place in His heavenly household.

Worship Songs and Hymns about Despair

Suffering has the ability to turn us inward into ourselves and our loss or turn our hearts upward to our gain in having the Lord during them. During trials, we will never truly worship God as He desires until our passion for His glory exceeds our passion for the glory of ourselves. We can praise Him because His sovereignty generates trust, produces power, and springs hope in this life and the next. Whether brokenness is removed or remains, our worship declares that His adulation is our highest goal and ultimate delight.
