Who can sound the depths of sorrow 

.i Graham Kendrick



.1

Who can sound

the depths of sorrow 

In the Father 

heart of God, 

For the children 

we've rejected, 

For the lives 

so deeply scarred? 



And each light that 

we've extinguished 

Has brought darkness 

to our land:

Upon our nation, 

upon our nation, 

Have mercy, Lord.



.2

We have scorned the 

truth You gave us, 

We have bowed 

to other lords. 

We have sacrificed 

the children 

On the altars of our gods. 



O let truth again 

shine on us, 

Let Your holy 

fear descend:

Upon our nation, 

upon our nation, 

Have mercy, Lord.



.3

(Men)

Who can stand 

before Your anger? 

Who can face Your 

piercing eyes? 

For You love 

the weak and helpless, 

And You hear 

the victims' cries. 



(All)

Yes, You are a 

God of justice, 

And Your judgement 

surely comes:

Upon our nation, 

upon our nation, 

Have mercy, Lord.



.4

(Women)

Who will stand 

against the violence? 

Who will comfort 

those who mourn? 

In an age of 

cruel rejection, 

Who will build 

for love a home? 



(All)

Come and shake 

us into action, 

Come and melt our 

hearts of stone:

Upon Your people, 

upon Your people, 

Have mercy, Lord.



.5

Who can sound 

the depths of mercy

In the Father 

heart of God?

For there is 

a Man of sorrows

Who for sinners 

shed His blood.



He can heal the 

wounds of nations,

He can wash 

the guilty clean:

Because of Jesus, 

because of Jesus,

Have mercy, Lord.
