I Raise My Voice

In the morning I will raise my voice

Raise it to the highest heaven

In prayer I will call upon you

I will lift up my eyes

And plead for all the saints

For all who worship you

You hear our songs and complaints

For you are a God of love

And there is none beside you

In all the world

You show favor to the righteous

And mercy to the repentant

But the wicked shall not stand

Nor sinners sit before your throne

For you are a just God

And faithful is your name

Those who call upon you

Shall be saved in your kingdom*
