Deep Calls to Deep

In 2001, Dr. Randy Gill (one of my favorite song writers in the Church of Christ) wrote a song that has become one of my favorite Lament’s from the Psalms. The song is called “Deep Calls to Deep”.

From the depths of my soul I cry out
From the depths of my soul I cry out
Lord, can you hear me?
Have mercy, O God
From the depths of my soul I cry out

In the midst of the sea I cry out
In the midst of the sea I cry out
Save me the water
Is over my head
In the midst of the sea I cry out

There is a time to mourn
There is a time to weep
There is a time for sorrow
When deep calls to deep

In the moments of grief I cry out
In the moments of grief I cry out
Have you forgotten me?
Where are you Lord?
In the moments of grief I cry out

From the depths of my soul I cry out
From the depths of my soul I cry out
Still I will praise You, Lord
Still I will praise You, Lord.

The words from “Deep Calls to Deep” (Psalm 42) are ones that can be sung by anyone of us at almost any period of our lives. Even though life is rough at times, I will still praise my Lord! These words give me hope and comfort from time to time.
