Lord, from Sorrows Deep I Call

This song began as a melody that was filled with sorrow, hope, and longing. After Matt and I completed a couple of different versions of the lyric, we finally landed on the title "Lord, from Sorrows Deep I Call," which seemed to capture both the ache of the tune and also the reality of the human condition. As we look to Psalm 42, and the Psalms at large, we see things that are sadly so rare in our corporate worship gatherings: confessions of despair, fear, and anger. As Christians we know that God, who sees us, is great enough to handle our hearts, and he offers us hope if we trust him, which is the direction of the song: "O my soul—put your hope in God." – Matt Papa
