"For you, my God, I wait
with hope born of the Word.
Like sleepless ones who long to dream,
I wait and call my Lord.
Lord, hear my pleading voice,
and let me know you hear!
As sleepless ones feel rest approach,
I know my God is near.
If you should list my faults,
the sins of heart and hand,
Like sleepless ones who groan at dawn
I know I could not stand!
For even from the deep
I know you hear my cries.
Like sleepless ones who dream at last,
I ease my weary eyes.
And once my soul is still,
in you I find my nest,
at peace as though a child
upon a gentle mother's breast.
O God, you are my hope;
I know that you forgive.
Your love redeems me from the depths
so I may rise and live."
