Psalm 88 (Hear My Cry)
My soul is full of trouble;
I am pulled towards the grave
On the list of doomed and dying,
Weak, forsaken, like the slain
Whom You pull your hand away from
And forget like faded paths
You have put me in the deepest,
Darkest pit beneath Your wrath
Chorus:
Lord, God of my salvation,
I call both day and night
Allow my prayer before You,
Tilt Your ear to hear my cry
My soul is full of trouble;
I am pulled towards the grave
On the list of doomed and dying,
Weak, forsaken, like the slain
Whom You pull your hand away from
And forget like faded paths
You have put me in the deepest,
Darkest pit beneath Your wrath
Chorus:
Lord, God of my salvation,
I call both day and night
Allow my prayer before You,
Tilt Your ear to hear my cry
Your oppression swells and surges;
Every friend you've chased away
They despise me, I’m imprisoned;
You allow me no escape
I am blinded by affliction,
Yet I cry out every day
Lord, to You my hands are lifted,
Open, hear me as I pray
CHORUS
Do You show the dead Your wonders?
Do they rise and shout Your praise?
Will the chaos sing Your faithful love,
Your mercy's power to save?
Does darkness hide Your miracles,
Making all forget Your light?
Yet I'll cry to You, and will not
Cease my prayers, morning and night
CHORUS
My soul, Lord, You've rejected.
You keep hiding from me--why?
I am drowning in Your terrors,
Death and suffering are my life
I've been scalded by Your anger,
By Your terrors been destroyed
See them ceaseless in their swirling;
I'm surrounded by the void
CHORUS
Lord, all who ever loved me,
You have ripped them from my hands
All You leave me are the shadows;
In the dark I find my friends
You Are With Me (Psalm 23)
Oh, Lord, You are my Shepherd
You give me all I need
Lay me down in greener pastures
To the still waters lead
Chorus:
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
Oh, Lord, You are my Shepherd
You give me all I need
Lay me down in greener pastures
To the still waters lead
Chorus:
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
Lord, restore me; make me holy
Just and righteous paths reveal
For You only, for Your glory
You are all that is real
Chorus
Though I'm walking through the darkness
There's no evil I fear
In the shadow land so heartless
Still I know You are near
Chorus
You protect and reassure me,
Making feasts before my foes
With Your oil You anoint me
So my cup overflows
Chorus
Surely goodness, love, and mercy
Will pursue me all my days
And the Lord's own holy temple
Will be my home always
Chorus
