Lament

A Cry Of Anguish

Lament


Save me, oh God, for the waters have come up 
To my neck, I sink in the depth where there is 
No foothold, I have come into the deep waters 
The floods engulf me, those who hate me 

Without reason, outnumber the hairs of my head 
All my bones are out of joint 

My heart has turned to wax 
It has melted away within me 

Darkness is all around me 
Because of the errors of my ways in the past 
I regret not believing in you 

I always thought I was right 
When my own thoughts took me away from you 
There is a void in me nothing can fill 
Problems, pain, loneliness invade my mind 

My friends and family have forgotten me 
My life isn't important to anybody 
Only you Lord Jesus gave me strength to go on 
You filled the void and heard my cry 
Now I don't look back, I only see you 
My God
