MY GOD, O MY GOD
(Psalm 22)

My God, O My God.mp3


Refrain
My God, O my God

     Why have You forgotten me?

My God, O my God

     How can You be silent now?


i

The dogs are closing in

     My mouth is dry

Where is God in my despair

     So far from my cries


ii

Our ancestors put their trust in you

     And you delivered them

I’ve been yours since I was a baby-- no

     even before I was born, even before then


iii

I am poured out like water

     My heart is melting

Please do not be distant from me, O God, my strength

     Do you hear me call for your help?


iv

I will declare your name

     The poor will eat and for once be satisfied

Those who seek the Holy One

     Shall lift their praises, lift their praises high


My soul will live for God

     And everyone will stand in awe of God’s love

My children’s children, and their children will be in God’s heart

     They will proclaim God’s saving love

proclaim God’s saving love

      proclaim God’s saving love

      proclaim God’s saving love

      proclaim God’s saving love…
