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

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
