My God, my God Why have You forsaken me Why are You so far from saving me So far from my cries of anguish Is this all just make-believe My God, I'm leaving work to pray again But You ain't saying things back And neither at night, when I complain the day was "wack" And can't stay in bed or stay on track Yet the fact is You're enthroned as the Holy One What a contrasting thought May I not shun the One Israel praises, and is afraid of Trusted by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob You delivered them when they called on Your Name They took the leap of faith and were not put to shame But I'm a worm, not even a man I'm scorned by everyone And I think it's Your plan All who see me, mock me Hurl insults, shake their heads "He trusts in the Lord," they said "Let the Lord rescue him" "Fam" and old friends shout Because You're the one I'm happy about (come on) Yet, You brought me out of the womb From my mother's breast Like I knew You rose from the tomb From birth I was cast on You From her womb You've been my God Saved me from doom Don't leave me God Be Thou my "Viz" Trouble is close and no other friend is I'm surrounded by bulls Strong bulls of Bashan encircle me Roaring lions attacking with the fervency Mouths open wide like the cook is serving meat And serving me Your Word I need I'm poured out like water Skeleton's out of joint My heart's a candle hitting the melting point My mouth is dry in the midst of the mocking I'm too thirsty to speak So I'm not even talking You laid me in the dust of death Dogs and villains surround me Hound me and want my breath, yet They pierce my hands and feet All my bones are on display People just stare and gloat over me They think I'm a have-not, some garbage They divide my clothes and cast lots for my garment But You Lord, don't leave my vicinity You're my Strength, come and help me quickly Deliver me from the sword this hour, God My precious life from the power of the dogs It's going south and I'm dying Save me from the horns of the oxen The mouth of the lions And I'll declare Your Name to Your servants I'll praise You and we'll really have a church service Said I'll declare Your Name to Your servants And praise You Because You're worth it Because You're Worthy (yeah) So when you're under attack, and the day is dim All you who fear the Lord, praise Him Descendants of Jacob, honor Him (He's worth it) Descendants of Israel, fear Him (He's perfect) He hasn't despised or scorned His Suffering Servant He didn't hide His face, but He heard Him You're the Reason I'm singing loud When the saints meet together and we will fulfill our vows The poor will eat and be satisfied Those who chase Him will praise Him and abide May your hearts live forever All the ends of the earth Will turn to the Lord and remember Because the nations will bow down before Him It won't matter about man's little opinions The Lord rules over the nations And to Him belongs the dominion All the rich will feast and adore Him Those in the dust will kneel down before Him Those who can't keep themselves alive Posterity will serve Him and our plans nosedive All of life is unrolled by the Lord Future generations will be told about the Lord And preach His righteousness, that He won it To a people unborn, that He's done it (yo) All of life is unrolled by the Lord Future generations will be told about the Lord And preach His righteousness, that He won it To a people unborn, that He's done it He has done it
