[Verse 1]
BmFrom deep distress and troubled thoughts
BmTo You, our God, we raise our cries;
BmIf You truly mark our faults,
BmNo flesh can stand before Your eyes.
[Verse 2]
BmBut You have built a throne of grace
BmFree to pour out your pardons there,
BmHere sinners may seek your face,
BmAnd hope and love, as well as fear.
[Chorus]
BmSo, we wAait
Before your gE/G#ates
Hear our cGry, donʼt delBmay.
BmWe wAait
For breaking dE/G#ay
When will we sGee your shining fBmace?
[Verse 3]
BmOur trust is fixed upon your Word,
BmOur hope will not be found in vain;
BmLet the mourning call his name
BmAnd find relief from all their pain.
[Chorus 2]
       (BmSo  - - - we wAait)          (Before your gaE/G#tes)
Despite our shame    Despite our pain 
             (Hear our cGry, Lord donʼt delBmay)
We lift our hearts in songs of praise 
             (BmSo we waAit)
Great his love,           Wide his grace,
E/G#He spilled his SGonʼs blood in our pBmlace; 
[Chorus 3]
         (BmSo we wAait)                (Before your gaE/G#tes)
He turns our feet    from hopeless ways, 
            (Hear our cGry, Lord donʼt delBmay)
opens our eyes to see his face. 
      (BmSo we wAait)               E/G#  
Great is his love, Wide is his grace,
GHe spilt his Sonʼs blood in our pBmlace;(He spilled his Sonʼs Blood in our place)
BmHe spilt his Sonʼs blood in our place;(He spilled his Sonʼs Blood in our place)
