1. Though in prostration, gardens shade me
Where my prayers, confessions, and pleas

2. What my ears couldn’t hear when I prayed
God above the heavens hears!

3. My Lord, my sin burdens like this night
Who but You can hide my wrongs from sight?

4. In joy or grief loudly I called
None heard my pains or cries at all

5. O Hearer of voices, O Merciful, my aide
I've come to Your door, forgive my deeds

6. O You who sees me sin yet gives me time
Be gentle, pardon me, guilt haunts my mind

7. O Lord these tears I shed
Wash with Your grace my pains and dread

8. Have mercy, Lord, the road's been long
Guilt woke my hurts and made me weep this song

9. O Lord, but You's my refuge now
So cleanse with Your grace my sins, I bow
