1. Sov'reign, Jehovah, merciful Father
Greater you are than our sinful hearts
Lighten our burden, soften our anguish
Give us the comfort your spirit imparts

2. Father, we all fall short of your glory;
Times there have been when we've lost our way
God, we beseech you: Please may you grant us
Your holy spirit to guide us each day

3. When we are weary, weak, or discouraged
Your active force will our hearts renew
Give us the strength to mount up like eagles;
May we receive holy spirit from you
