[verse 1] My God, my God—why have You gone? Why so far when the night is long? I cry by day, You do not hear. I call by night—no answer near. [verse 2] But You are holy, set apart, Enthroned in praises, every heart. Our fathers trusted, and You came— They cried to You and weren’t ashamed. [verse 3] But I’m a worm, not even man. Despised, dishonored where I stand. They laugh and twist their lips at me— “He trusts in God? Let God set him free!” [build] You drew me out from the womb’s embrace, Gave me rest on my mother’s face. Don’t stay far—my strength is gone. There’s no one left to lean upon. [drop 1] I’m poured out like water— My bones unstrung. My heart melts down Like wax in my lungs. My mouth is dry, My tongue sticks fast— You lay me down In the dust at last. [bridge 1] Dogs surround me, Evil grins. They pierced my hands, They pierced my limbs. They count my bones— I hear them mock. They cast their lots For my torn cloak. [pre-chorus] But You, O Lord, Be not far. My Strength, come quick— Here where I are. [chorus 1] Rescue me From the lion’s throat. Save my life From the wild dog’s note. Deliver me From death’s last call— And I will praise You Before them all. [verse 4] I will declare Your name aloud. In the great assembly, Before the crowd. You who fear Him— Lift your voice! All Jacob’s seed— Rejoice, rejoice! [drop 2] He did not hide. He heard my cry. He did not turn His face aside. He came in power, He stood me tall— And I will praise Him Before them all. [bridge 2] The meek will eat And be satisfied. All nations seek The Crucified. The poor remember, The world returns— The ends of earth Bow down and learn. [chorus 2] Kingship belongs To Him alone. He rules the nations From His throne. A seed shall serve— The world will hear. And they will tell That God came near. [outro] They will proclaim His righteousness— The work is done. He did the rest.
