Author: Ellen Clark-King Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #186 Meter: 6.6.7.6.7.6.4.4 First Line: Out of the depths of fear Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths of fear
we cry to you, O God.
The world we know is shaken,
our certainties are lost.
Heart-weary and forsaken
we cannot meet this cost.
We are afraid -
where are you, God?
2 Out of the depths of grief
we cry to you, O God.
Our hearts are cracked and broken
we're hollow with this loss.
Your promises seem token
amidst this tempest toss.
We are in grief -
where are you, God?
3 Out of the depths of faith
we cry to you, O God.
Though light's almost extinguished
and trust is lost in fear
we turn to you in anguish,
in hope that you still hear.
We are your own -
where are you, God? Topics: Depression; Grief; Sorrow Languages: English Tune Title: DI MANA ALLAH
