Psalm 16
Chorus:
Save me, O God, You are my refuge,
My only good: You are my Lord.
With You I find the living pathway,
Joy and pleasures forevermore
Godly people spread out over all the world
They are the noble ones who put my spirit at ease
Chasers of idols multiply their sorrows and pain
I’ll never worship or name the idol deities
Chorus:
Save me, O God, You are my refuge,
My only good: You are my Lord.
With You I find the living pathway,
Joy and pleasures forevermore
Godly people spread out over all the world
They are the noble ones who put my spirit at ease
Chasers of idols multiply their sorrows and pain
I’ll never worship or name the idol deities
CHORUS
Lord, You are all I ever need inherit or own.
My cup of blessing, Protector of whate’er I receive
Pleasant the places You mapped out for me and my kin;
Beautiful is the heritage You’ve given to me.
CHORUS
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel
Even at night my heart keeps on teaching me
I will keep the Lord before me all the time
I’ll not be shaken, for He is my guarantee
CHORUS
So I rejoice; my heart and abundance are glad
Fully at rest, my body is secure and safe
You won’t abandon my soul to the dwelling of death
Nor will You let Your Holy One to suffer decay
CHORUS
Cold
Waking up is the hardest part
The sound of alarm is the lead of my heart
The silence seduces me back towards sleep;
Desire to have you alive comes, so selfishly
I never thought much before
About the value of your support
The knowledge that you would hold me until I cried
I cannot call up these tears
Though I'm surrounded by so many fears
The missing of your laughter leaves me cold, so cold
Fully alive and barely awake;
Flipping the switch and turning away
My eyes are sore and my heart still aches;
Summoning up the courage for another day
Waking up is the hardest part
The sound of alarm is the lead of my heart
The silence seduces me back towards sleep;
Desire to have you alive comes, so selfishly
I never thought much before
About the value of your support
The knowledge that you would hold me until I cried
I cannot call up these tears
Though I'm surrounded by so many fears
The missing of your laughter leaves me cold, so cold
An image of you in your lasting breath;
Now you are changeless, alive in your death
Healed and forgiven, and deeply transformed,
Soon resurrected, and shortly reborn
Starting with one single second,
I am allowing myself to believe
The hope I have been called to is not in vain
The Spirit is proving, again and again,
Though at times it all seems so slow
My heart and your body will not always be so cold, oh no
