I'd spread my wants before His face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell Him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain, How grace decays, and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain. 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God; I'd plead for His own mercy's sake, And for my Savior's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And heal my broken bones; He takes the meaning of His saints, The language of their groans. 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls thee to His throne of grace, To spread thy sorrows there.
