Lyrics
Verse 1
Listen to my words, O Lord, hear my heart's deep cries.
In the morning, you will hear my voice as my prayers rise.
I lay out my plea at dawn, watch and wait for You,
King and God, it's to You alone, I make my appeal true.
Chorus
You are not a God who delights in wicked ways;
Evil finds no home with You, through all our days.
The arrogant won't stand before Your searching eyes;
You despise all who embrace lies and disguise.
Verse 2
Guide me in Your truth, O Lord, make my path clear.
Amid my enemies, Your righteous way steer.
Their words are graves opened wide, deceit they breathe;
Their tongues are smooth, but destruction they bequeath.
Bridge
Hold them guilty, O God, let them by their plots fall;
In their many sins, cast them out, once and for all.
They rebel against You, their hearts turned to night;
Let their own devices lead them from Your sight.
Chorus
You are not a God who delights in wicked ways;
Evil finds no home with You, through all our days.
The arrogant won't stand before Your searching eyes;
You despise all who embrace lies and disguise.
Chorus
For You bless the righteous, O Lord, encircle them with grace;
Like a shield, Your favor surrounds their every trace.
Chorus
You are not a God who delights in wicked ways;
Evil finds no home with You, through all our days.
The arrogant won't stand before Your searching eyes;
You despise all who embrace lies and disguise.
For You bless the righteous, O Lord, encircle them with grace;
Like a shield, Your favor surrounds their every trace.
[Break]
Chorus
You are not a God who delights in wicked ways;
Evil finds no home with You, through all our days.
The arrogant won't stand before Your searching eyes;
You despise all who embrace lies and disguise.
[Outro]
