Deliver Me (Psalm 6)

From Shadowland: Songs from the Valley

Lyrics

Lord, don't rebuke me in Your anger
Don't discipline me in Your wrath
I am weak, my bones are shaking
I'm worn and fading on this path

Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Heal my soul, and hear my cry
For I am drowning in my sorrow
And I am weary of the night
Deliver me—O God, arise

How long, O Lord, until You rescue
Return and save me by Your grace
In death, no one gives You praises
Who will lift Your holy name

Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Heal my soul, and hear my cry
For I am drowning in my sorrow
And I am weary of the night
Deliver me—O God, arise

I flood my bed with tears each night
My eyes grow weak with grief and fight
But You, O Lord, You hear my plea
You welcome all who trust in Thee

Deliver me, O Lord, in mercy
Your steadfast love will not let go
You turn my mourning into singing
You lift my soul and make it whole
Deliver me—my heart is Yours
