▶ Listen in English

Verse 1:

I've been stripped of peace — I've forgotten what joy is

My soul worn down, no strength left in my bones

I've cried out into silence that feels endless

And walked this valley, aching and alone


Chorus:

Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope

The steadfast love of the Lord will never let me go

His mercies are not gone — they're new with every dawn

Great is Your faithfulness — I'm calling it to mind


Verse 2:

I'll sit in silence, waiting for Your rescue

Though goodness feels like something far from here

Good for those who seek You in the darkness

Good to bear this yoke and trust You through my fear


Chorus:

Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope

The steadfast love of the Lord will never let me go

His mercies are not gone — they're new with every dawn

Great is Your faithfulness — I'm calling it to mind


Bridge:

It is good to wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord

Even when I cannot feel You

You are faithful to Your word

Even when I cannot feel You

You are faithful — You are Lord


Chorus:

Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope

The steadfast love of the Lord will never let me go

His mercies are not gone — they're new with every dawn

Great is Your faithfulness — I'm calling it to mind


Called to Mind

Verso 1:

Me han despojado de paz — olvidé lo que es la alegría

Mi alma desgastada, sin fuerzas en los huesos

He clamado al silencio que parece interminable

Y caminé este valle, solo y doloroso


Coro:

Pero esto traigo a la memoria, y por eso tengo esperanza

El amor fiel del Señor jamás me soltará

Sus misericordias no se agotan — son nuevas cada mañana

Grande es Tu fidelidad — lo traigo a mi memoria


Verso 2:

Esperaré en silencio la salvación del Señor

Aunque el bien parezca estar lejos de aquí

Bueno es buscarle en la oscuridad

Bueno es cargar este yugo y confiar a pesar del temor


Coro:

Pero esto traigo a la memoria, y por eso tengo esperanza

El amor fiel del Señor jamás me soltará

Sus misericordias no se agotan — son nuevas cada mañana

Grande es Tu fidelidad — lo traigo a mi memoria


Puente:

Es bueno esperar en silencio

La salvación del Señor

Aunque no pueda sentirte

Eres fiel a Tu palabra

Aunque no pueda sentirte

Eres fiel — eres Señor


Coro:

Pero esto traigo a la memoria, y por eso tengo esperanza

El amor fiel del Señor jamás me soltará

Sus misericordias no se agotan — son nuevas cada mañana

Grande es Tu fidelidad — lo traigo a mi memoria
