Three Days in the Deep

[Intro – whispered Hebrew, water sounds, low choir] מִמְּעֵי הַדָּגָה... מִבֶּטֶן שְׁאוֹל שִׁוַּעְתִּי... [Verse 1] I ran from the voice in the burning sky Took a ship where the shadows go But the sea knew my name And the storm rose high Till the deep opened wide below [Pre-Chorus] Every wave was a question Every night was a wall But the dark was not empty There was mercy in the fall [Chorus] Three days in the deep Where the world could not find me Three nights in the dark Where Your silence still heard me From the belly of Sheol I cried beneath the sea I was swallowed by the waters But the waters carried me [Verse 2] Down to the roots of the mountains I fell Past the gates of the forgotten Yet the prayer in my bones Found the temple again And the grave became a womb of dawn [Hebrew Hook] מִבֶּטֶן שְׁאוֹל שִׁוַּעְתִּי שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹלִי [Bridge – heavy breakdown] אֲפָפוּנִי מַיִם עַד־נֶפֶשׁ תְּהוֹם יְסֹבְבֵנִי [Final Chorus] Three days in the deep But the deep could not keep me Three nights in the dark Till the morning released me From the belly of Sheol To the light above the sea What I ran from became the road That brought my soul back to Thee [Outro – choir] יְשׁוּעָתָה לַיהוָה
