Be Merciful to Me by Caedmon's Call
Out from the deep I call To Thee, oh Lord, to Thee Before Thy throne I fall Be merciful to me Be merciful to me Be merciful to me Through shadow dark and valley deep Be merciful to me From the garden to the cross Thy mercy did endure My soul purged from all dross In blood made pure
Be merciful to me Be merciful to me Through shadow dark and valley deep Be merciful to me Thy mercy, Lord, is true As ever truth will be But still I cry for You Be merciful to me
Be merciful to me Be merciful to me Through shadow dark and valley deep Be merciful to me
words and music by Randall Goodgame / additional public domain lyrics (first verse) by Henry Baker, 1868 / ©2006 Mighty Molecule Music (ASCAP) (adm. by Music Services) Behind the Song: "Psalm 130 begins, "Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord." And this song agrees. Inspired by the first verse of an old Henry Baker Hymn, we will never be rid of the need of the fervent prayer David penned in Psalm 57, "Have mercy on me, O God."" - Caedmon's Call
