Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
(Hold me and have mercy upon me) x2
(For You O Lord I'm in great need) x2
My soul is troubled in the deep
And my eyes are full of tears
(Now I remember you indeed) x2
(For Your salvation is near) x2
All the waves came upon me
I was drowned in the deep sea
(I asked for help where could it be) x2
(But in the hands of my dear Lord) x2
My heart is trembling in great fear
And my head is wrapped in weeds
(Out of the depths I cried to Thee) x2
(Save my soul and set me free) x2
God ordered the whale in the sea
To safely drop Jonah in peace
(In the whale's belly Jonah kneels) x2
(And thank the Lord for His great deeds) x2
Hear my cry I pray to thee
And to my voice incline Your ear
(Hold me and have mercy upon me) x2
(For You O Lord I'm in great need) x2
