Lyrics:VERSE 1
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
For my soul takes refuge in you,
In the shadow of your wings.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
For in the shadow of your wings
My soul will always find
Refuge, refuge, refuge in You.
VERSE 2
My heart is fixed on you, O God, my heart is fixed on you.
Ill sing and give you praises.
Ill wake up at dawn and give you thanks.
Ill sing your praises to all people,
For your love is great.
You loving kindness reaches far beyond the starry skies.
Wake up, wake up, wake up and sing.
ENDING
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
For my soul takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
For my soul takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
