Shane & Shane's 'Lament' is a worship song that expresses deep repentance and reliance on God's mercy. The lyrics confess personal sin and pride, acknowledging the need for cleansing. The song then shifts to a declaration of God's steadfast love and faithfulness, drawing from Lamentations 3. It emphasizes finding hope in God even in brokenness, and the repeated refrain 'Great is Thy faithfulness' echoes the classic hymn. The overall message is one of humble confession, trust in God's unfailing mercy, and hope in His enduring love.

My sins are before me
My transgressions so great
Against You and You only
Have I turned away
I've worshiped creation
I've chosen my pride
From You and You only
Have I tried to hide
Lord, I confess my need
Your mercy washes me
My heart is uncovered
My soul is laid bare
To You and You only
Will I lift my head
Lord, I confess my need
Your mercy washes me
Lord, I confess my need
Your mercy washes me
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies will never end
He is my God and my portion forever
I find my hope in Him
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Let the bones You've broken rejoice
In the silence I lift up my voice
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Let the bones You've broken rejoice
In the silence I lift up my voice
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies will never end
He is my God and my portion forever
I find my hope in Him
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies will never end
He is my God and my portion forever
I find my hope in Him
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies will never end
He is my God and my portion forever
I find my hope in Him
Lord, I confess my need
Your mercy washes me
Lord, I confess my need
Your mercy washes me
