From the recording Holy
I wrote the music for this in 2009. Jim put down the drum track to my scratch guitar. I layered on bass, piano and electric guitar on another session, intending to let another artist who was working on a project write lyrics. The lyrics never happened and I forgot about it. I rediscovered it a few years ago and wrote the lyrics. Amy Kalina, Ashley Dante and Libby Glassley provided the harmony vocals.
Lyrics
OUT OF THE DEPTHS
G Am C G
G Am
Out of the depths I cry to you
C G
Oh God please hear my voice
G Am
In my despair I turn to you
C G
In you alone I will rejoice
G Am
Who can stand before you God
C G
Unless by your mercy and grace
G Am
Your unfailing love is my only hope
C G
To see you face to face
Am G
Holy, holy
Am G
Holy You are
Am G
Holy, holy
C D
Almighty God
G Am
Out of the depths I look to you
C G
Who else would plead my cause
G Am
You alone have rescued me
C G
You alone are my God
G Am
Turn my eyes from worthless things
C G
And set my sights on you
G Am
Teach me all your ways oh God
C G
That lead me to your truth
Am G
Holy, holy
Am G
Holy You are
Am G
Holy, holy
C D
Almighty God
G Am
Out of the depths you lift me up
C G
You set me on solid ground
G Am
You are pleased to hold me up
C G
Where nothing can tear me down
G Am
Now I have fixed my hope on you
C G
And trust in you alone
G Am
You’ve given me a brand new heart
C G
And made my heart your home
Am G
Holy, holy
Am G
Holy You are
Am G
Holy, holy
C D
Almighty God
G Am C G
Holy Holy Holy
Holy Holy Holy
