Yes, I Shall Arise (II)
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
To you, O Lord,
I lift up my soul;
In you, O my God,
I place all my trust.
Look down on me,
have mercy O Lord;
Forgive me my sins,
behold all my grief.
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
My heart and soul
shall yearn for your face;
Be gracious to me
and answer my plea.
Do not withhold
your goodness from me;
Lord, may your love
be deep in my soul.
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
To you I pray,
have pity on me;
My God, I have sinned
against your great love.
Mercy I cry, O Lord,
wash me clean;
And whiter than snow
my spirit shall be.
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
Give me again
the joy of your help;
Now open my lips,
your praise I will sing .
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
Happy is he,
forgiven by God;
His sins blotted out,
his guilt is no more.
Refrain:
Yes, I shall arise
and return to my Father!
