Wolves At The Gate - Oh The Depths Lyrics






Oh the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth
And though I crave to know all of the patterns of this world
Is endless for it's beyond tracing out

So from as far as I've seen there is a great hoard against me
Because I am a man sights see targets on my back
For all our hearts are not clean and the archers fire freely
Because I am a man sights see targets

For every knee will bow and every tongue confess
That you are God! For you are God!
His image bears the sight of the unseen King
His name is ever pleasing for this we do sing
Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath
Forever Your name proclaims!

The Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake we are free who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me

Oh the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth
I have not a gift to bring for all things are from Him and glory forever
But as their arrows are drawn there is refuge in view

Now don't get me wrong I am the least of these
I have no knowledge to give or power to seize
I have not a gift or a planned endeavor
For all things are from Him and glory forever

There is love! Here is love! This is love! There is love!
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a
fool in their squalor?
For they desired a sign and sought for the wise
When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes

Oh death, oh death
Has lost it's sting on me
Oh death, oh death
You've been forever conquored

The Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath completely
On His Son for our sake we are free who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me

[Romans 11:33-36; Acts 8:32; I Thessalonians 5:9; Romans 14:11; Isaiah 40:18; I Thessalonians 1:10]

    Tradução

    Oh as profundezas de riquezas, como a água que enche a terra
    É o conhecimento do meu Criador, que me dá valor
    E embora eu almeje por conhecer todos os padrões deste mundo
    É infinito para ele é , além traçando

    Então, de tão longe como eu vi há um tesouro grande contra mim
    Porque eu sou um homem que tem mira de alvos nas minhas costas
    Para todos os nossos corações não são limpos, e os arqueiros de fogo livremente
    Porque eu sou um homem que tem mira de alvos

    Porque todo joelho se dobrará e toda língua confessará
    Que você é Deus! Pois tu és Deus!
    Sua imagem tem aos olhos do Rei invisível
    Seu nome é sempre agradável para fazermos cantar
    Pai de graça e misericórdia derramou sua ira
    Seu nome proclamamos para sempre!

    Pai de graça e misericórdia derramou sua ira completamente
    Em Seu Filho por nós. Nós somos livres que trouxemos o cordeiro para por mim

    Oh as profundezas de riquezas, como a água que enche a terra
    É o conhecimento do meu Criador, que me dá valor
    Eu não tenho um presente para trazer por que todas as coisas são dEle e glória para sempre
    Assim como suas flechas são desenhadas, existe refúgio em vista

    Agora, não me leve a mal eu sou o menor desses
    Não tenho conhecimento para dar ou poder para tomar
    Eu não tenho um presente ou um esforço planejado
    Porque todas as coisas são dEle e glória para sempre

    Existe o amor! Aqui é o amor! Isto é amor! Há amor!
    Onde está o sábio? Onde está o erudito? Será que eles não foram feitos um tal
    tolo em sua miséria?
    Porque eles queriam um sinal, e procurou o sábio
    Quando o precursor da vida estava bem diante de seus olhos

    Oh morte, oh morte
    Perdeu seu aguilhão em mim
    Oh morte, oh morte
    Você foi sempre conquistada

    Pai de graça e misericórdia derramou sua ira completamente
    Deu Seu Filho por nós. Nós somos livres que trouxemos o cordeiro para ser abatido por mim

    B.... G....

    Thanks @D.J. Clift​

  43. I.... W....

    I've never heard a metal band that makes such beautiful songs!

    I.... W....

    They're a bit more aggressive, but Phinehas is another really good one in terms of making beautiful songs. :)

  44. J.... F....

    Hi, I'm creating a group of wolves for the fans who have enteresse comment with your number.

  45. s.... d....

    i like this man. you doing great. great lyrics also

  46. D.... ....

    This is their best song!

  47. D.... C....

    This is a *powerful* song! I love the parts after 4:09, where Steve (singer/guitarist) sings his chorus with authority, and then right after, Colin (screamer) screams, "THERE IS LOVE!! THERE IS LOVE!! THIS IS LOVE!! THERE IS LOVE!!" and then that final, quiet chorus. It is a work of beauty.

    "The Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath completely on His Son for our sake. We are free. He brought the Lamb to slaughter for me." Great chorus.

  48. C.... ....

    This is the most Spiritual Christian Metal song I've ever heard!! Awesome and Very Powerful! Wolves at the Gate is the best Metal band. God Bless

    C.... ....

    I had no idea they were christian until today. Makes so much more sense now, but hands down one of my favorite bands now!

    The chills man.

  50. D.... W....

    Hail Satan, more songs about the Devil!

    D.... W....

    Go back to your own music genre and let us Christian-metal heads be...

  51. Z.... ....

    Wish the track eq was better and the quality of the audio

    +Z0RSY ZORSY :)

    @Stormyyy YOYO

    Z.... ....

    This song was off their EP _We Are the Ones_, which was first released independently without a label. Much of the production of said EP was done for free.

    After they got signed to Solid State Records, their EP was re-released on the label, but the songs were left as is and weren't re-recorded. That's probably why you find the audio quality poor. I, personally, think it's fine, though. I love their songs, even before they were signed.

  52. C.... F....

    I absolutely love how this band is unique and sticks out from the norm of Christian bands, and still has an amazing message unlike a lot of the other bands of this genre.

    C.... F....

    +Maverick Freeland for today. possibly most passionate band I've witnessed

    C.... F....

    don't forget haste the day ! 

    C.... F....

    Check out Theocracy too

    C.... F....

    Also, Hands/Everything In Slow Motion (both have the same vocalist/lead guitarist/writer, but Hands is no longer around), Silent Planet, Phinehas and I totally agree with Theocracy and Red being really unique.. though Theocracy is the only band among those that doesn't have any form of harsh vocals lol

    C.... F....

    Christian Freeland also For Today

  53. S.... A....

    One of my favorite songs evah! God bless ♥

  54. M.... v....

    I think it would be sick if you got to play at warped tour. I would watch you guys

  55. R.... M....

    can anyone tell me who the guest vocalist is?

    R.... M....

    Joe Mcfaddin. He's formerly of the band This Love and currently started a band called The Wildskins.

  56. J.... v....

    Hey guys check out Safemode,its a cristian metalcore band from Sweden,they sound a lot like Wolves At The Gate

  61. F.... R....

    Thank you wolves at the gate, for making songs that glorifies Christ and remind us for His love for us. God bless u guys

  62. J.... A....

    this has to be my favourite music video by Wolves at the Gate followed by ''relief'' Amazing to see such passion and fire for God :]

  63. J.... S....

    I want to hear more metal bands with Gospel-centered worship-filled lyrics like this. There are very few out there!

    J.... S....

    sent by ravens

    J.... S....

    Idk how all of you forgot phinehas and silent planet

    J.... S....

    Phinehas, yes all the way. Silent Planet does have Gospel links in their lyrics but Garrett tends to write more cryptically and philosophically so that both believers and non-believers can relate or understand the concepts if they delve into it. BoughtXBlood is one that is also really good and strongly Gospel-centered/worshipful, they're kinda like Killswitch Engage meets Phinehas meets a small bit of Demon Hunter.

    J.... S....

    convictions and fit for a king

    J.... S....

    Jason Stephens Jason Stephens HELLO?! What about Sleeping Giant??!

    Or are you guys discounting them because they're Pentecostaly?

    C.... W....

    Who is singing at 3:06 ?

    C.... W....

    @Correna Westphal Thats Joe McFaddin from the band "This Love". Which is a pretty decent band if I do say so myself.

    C.... W....

    Thank you. I'll check out there band.

  65. C.... K....

  66. G.... S....

    LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

  67. C.... P....

    Who's to say that is how a Demond sounds you may never know but if you were a true Christian you would not pass judgment of any kind 😊🙏🎧

    C.... P....

    False. We are called to judge. Not hypocritically however.

    C.... P....

    for all we know, demons might sound almost angelic, to deceive people.... 

    C.... P....

    @Aden Sharp We are not called to judge. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." Matthew 7:1. We are called to present Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit will draw the hearts of those who lay their lives to the one true God!

    C.... P....

    @Thomas Gauge exactly 

  68. N.... S....

    Let's have more of the good singing and less of guys sounding like demons.

    N.... S....

    What do demons sound like? Have you heard one or something?

    N.... S....

    Even the screaming takes talent, just like the singer. Its the message and how it speaks to you that carries the most weight. If it wasnt for music like this when i was growing up, i would be a very lost person today. worship is worship for the one true god, no mater what octave 

    N.... S....

    Psalm 98:4 - "shout for joy to the lord, all the earth"

    The key word here is "shout". #irestmycase  

    N.... S....

    Another word for shout is..... SCREAM

    N.... S....

    @***** You are really good at making your self sound crazy. 

  69. J.... S....

    Awsome we need more christian metal bands like this

  70. S.... P....

    beautiful song ❤❤❤

  71. J.... P....

    Perfect

    k.... d....

    @SoulKiIIer lol you look like you're showing off that you know his name is Ian

  76. C.... T....

    Y'know, even on one of my favorite worship bands I play "Find the brony" (aside from myself) I sit here and browse the comments for pony profile pics. Sure enough... 

  77. S.... ....

    M.... G....

    The Elect :)

    M.... G....

    Amen, y'all!

    M.... G....

    That doesn't seem to be the actual verse of Joel 2:32 or 1 Corinthians 1:2

  83. S.... ....

    Love these guys, love god, not trying to convert anyone, because its stupid.

  84. D.... ....

    Beautiful image at the end with everyone's hands up in worship. What a brilliant song!!!!

    D.... ....

    Literal goosebumps on that part

  85. B.... ....

    I just discovered this band, and this is the first song Ive heard by them, all I can say is, awesome and beautiful

    B.... ....

    It only goes uphill from here man <3

  86. E.... P....

    I went to Creation fest 2013 and they never played this song and they didnt play heralds either, I was so mad >:( The lead singer was speaking for like 20 minutes on the secondary stage like u dont have time to do that unless ur a headliner :P

    E.... P....

    I was sad he talked for so long too; but his message was worth it. 

    E.... P....

    I KNOW!

  90. M.... ....

    If you would realize two things, he does not have his thumb on his other fingers so his hand is pretty much just spread out lol, and secondly, if he was, he isn't even a part of the band, that is another guy from another band lol

  91. A.... H....

    SO GOOD

  92. G.... ....

    One of the few post-hardcore bands that I appreciate.
