Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Why art thou so far from saving me, from my cries of agony?
O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer
And by night, but I find no rest, no deliverance
[Chorus]
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits praise
Our fathers trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them
They cried unto thee, and were saved from disgrace
They trusted in thee, and were never shamed
[Verse 2]
But I am a worm, no longer a man
A reproach of men, despised by the land
All who see me mock and scorn
They shoot out the lip, they shake their heads, forlorn
[Chorus]
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits praise
Our fathers trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them
They cried unto thee, and were saved from disgrace
They trusted in thee, and were never shamed
[Chorus]
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits praise
Our fathers trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them
They cried unto thee, and were saved from disgrace
They trusted in thee, and were never shamed
[Bridge]
He trusted in the LORD, let him deliver him
Let him rescue him, if he delights in him
But thou art he who took me from the womb
Made me trust when on my mother’s breast, in that room
[Melodic Leading Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Be not far from me, for trouble is near
There is none to help, none to calm my fear
Many bulls surround me, strong ones of Bashan
They open wide their mouths at me, lions roaring
[Bridge]
He trusted in the LORD, let him deliver him
Let him rescue him, if he delights in him
But thou art he who took me from the womb
Made me trust when on my mother’s breast, in that room
[Melodic Leading Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Be not far from me, for trouble is near
There is none to help, none to calm my fear
Many bulls surround me, strong ones of Bashan
They open wide their mouths at me, lions roaring
