I am poor and empty
And restless as I wait for You
I've walked where You've not sent me
And many times I've moved too soon
But through all my failures still Your mercy shines
In ways I've not yet understood
How things I've worked for evil in my life
You, my Lord, have made for good
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
Singing praise to His name most high
To declare His lovingkindness in the morning
And His faithfulness by night
And now my mind is racing
And straining for some sign from You
'Cause no matter what I'm facing
You have said you'll see me through
But the water line has reached my neck
And it's boasting to consume my heart
My soul, my soul, remember
That He has brought me safe this far
Oh I sing for You
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
Singing praise to His name most high
To declare His lovingkindness in the morning
And His faithfulness by night
So when my heart deceives me
And leads me toward a lesser fate
Teach me, Lord, to wait for You
That You would crown my years with grace
And I will praise You as I wait
Alleluia singing praise to Your name most high
Alleluia You are faithful in my life
