Lyrics / Letras

Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

Verse 1:

To you I lift up my eyes
who are enthroned in heaven—
as the eyes of servants
are on the hands of their masters.

Verse 2:

As the eyes of a maid
are on the hands of her mistress,
so are our eyes on the LORD, our God,
till he have pity on us.

Verse 3:

Have pity on us, O LORD, have pity on us,
for we are more than sated with contempt;
our souls are more than sated
with the mockery of the arrogant,
with the contempt of the proud.
