Psalm 4: O God of Grace

Psalm 4: O God of Grace 

Verse 1:

O God, you are my righteousness, I lift my voice to you.

In darkest night, your mercy shines, relieves and makes me new.

How long will I be put to shame by those who love what’s vain?

But know the Lord has set apart the faithful for his name.

Chorus:

O God of grace, in you I rest, you hear me when I speak.

Shine on me with your radiant love and lift me when I’m weak.

Verse 2:

When anger stirs and doubts arise, let sin not take control.

In quiet trust, in silent awe, I yield to you my soul.

The world may chase its fleeting joys, its riches and acclaim.

But I have found my greatest joy, I will not be ashamed.

Chorus:

O God of grace, in you I rest, you hear me when I speak.

Shine on me with your radiant love and lift me when I’m weak.

Bridge:

You have filled my heart with joy, more than abundance brings.

And in your peace, I safely rest, beneath your shadowed wings.

Verse 3:

O God of righteousness and peace, you hear me when I call.

Through trials deep, your hand upholds, and so, I will not fall.

Grant us, O Lord, your holy joy, your truth to light our way.

And let all lives and every voice be lifted up in praise.

Chorus:

O God of grace, in you I rest, you hear me when I speak.

Shine on me with Your radiant love and lift me when I’m weak.

Outro:

O Lord, you are my solid rock, relief in my distress.

In you I know I’m safe and still, in you I know I’m blessed.
