Save Me, O God (Psalm 69)
From Shadowland: Songs from the Valley
Lyrics
Save me, O God, the waters rise Engulfing me as hope denies In mire I sink, no foothold found The floods consume, my soul is drowning Save me, O God, hear my plea In deepest depths, come rescue me Though shadows fall and foes deride Your steadfast love will be my guide I'm weary, Lord, from calling out My throat is parched, consumed by doubt My eyes grow dim, I search in vain For signs of You amidst my pain Save me, O God, hear my plea In deepest depths, come rescue me Though shadows fall and foes deride Your steadfast love will be my guide They hate me without cause or end I bear reproach I cannot mend Yet in Your mercy, I confide Let not my shame Your name divide I am a stranger to my kin Consumed by zeal, accused of sin I weep and fast, yet mocked am I Their scornful songs beneath the sky Save me, O God, hear my plea In deepest depths, come rescue me Though shadows fall and foes deride Your steadfast love will be my guide But I will praise Your name in song Exalt You, Lord, my whole life long The humble hear and will rejoice In You, O God, they lift their voice Save me, O God, hear my plea Your salvation sets me free Though trials come and tears reside In Your great love, I will abide
