From Deep Distress (CHORDS) by Sojourn

[Verse 1]~
Bm
From deep distress and troubled thoughts

Bm
To You,.. our God,.. we raise our cries;

Bm
If You truly mark our faults,..

Bm
No flesh can stand before Your eyes!


[Verse 2]~
Bm
But You have built a throne of grace

Bm
Free to pour out your pardons there,..

Bm
Here sinners may seek your face,..

Bm
And hope and love,.. as well as fear!


[Chorus]~
Bm      A
So,.. we wait

            E/G#
Before your gates

         G            Bm
Hear our cry,.. donʼt delay!

Bm  A
We wait

             E/G#
For breaking day

             G                Bm
When will we see your shining face..?


[Verse 3]~
Bm
Our trust is fixed upon your Word,..

Bm
Our hope will not be found in vain;

Bm
Let the mourning call his name

Bm
And find relief from all their pain!


[Chorus 2]~
       Bm            A                            E/G#
      (So  - - - we wait)          (Before your gates)
Despite our shame Despite our pain

                       G                 Bm
            (Hear our cry,.. Lord donʼt delay)
We lift our hearts in songs of praise

             Bm      A
            (So we wait)
Great his love,.. Wide his grace,..

E/G#            G                  Bm
He spilled his Sonʼs blood in our place;


[Chorus 3]~
         Bm     A                                  E/G#
        (So we wait)                (Before your gates)
He turns our feet from hopeless ways,..

                      G                 Bm
           (Hear our cry,.. Lord donʼt delay)
opens our eyes to see his face!

      Bm     A                  E/G#
     (So we wait)
Great is his love,.. Wide is his grace,..

G                                Bm
He spilt his Sonʼs blood in our place;(He spilled his Sonʼs Blood in our place)

He spilt his Sonʼs blood in our place;(He spilled his Sonʼs Blood in our place)
