[Verse 1]
C F
Listen to my words, oh Lord,
C G
Consider what’s in my way.
C F
Give ear to my cry for help,
C G
For to you I pray
C F
In the morning you hear my voice
C G
I lay my requests before you
C F
And I wait in expectation
C G C
Lord, all your promises are true
[Chorus 1]
Am F
Oh I, by your mercy
C G
Will enter your great house,
Am F
In surrender I’ll bow down to you
C G
Lord, I need your help
Am F
Lead me oh Lord, make straight a way
C G
In your righteousness
Am F
Deliver me from my enemies
C G
Who by my own I can’t resist
[Verse 2]
C F
Help me resist my enemies
C G
Their throat is an open grave
C F
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted
C G
And You alone they don’t behave
C F
They’ll be declared guilty, oh God
C G
Their plans will cause their collapse
C F
For their many sins they’ll be banished
C G C
They fell for the evil one’s trap
[Chorus 2]
Am F
But I, by your mercy
C G
Will enter your great house,
Am F
In surrender I’ll bow down to you
C G
Because Lord, I need your help
Am F
All who take refuge in You’ll be glad
C G
You protect them and you heal
Am F
Oh Lord, you bless the righteous
C G
Your favor upon them is a shield

Give me that promise, oh God

You give it to me, for free, by your mercy
Am C
I need that promise, oh God
F G
You give to me, for free, by your mercy
Am C
Give me that promise, oh God
F G
You give it to me, for free, by your mercy
Am C
I need that promise, oh God

You to me, for free, by your mercy
[Chorus 3]

So I, by your mercy
C G
Will enter your great house,

In surrender I’ll bow down to you

All who take refuge in You’ll be glad

Oh Lord, you bless the righteous

Will enter your great house,
Am F
In surrender I’ll bow down to you
