[Intro] (Acoustic guitar arpeggiates the chords, drums enter with ghost note snare and marked kick) [Verse 1] (DUET (F+M, united voices, intimate and supplicant)) I cry to You, my Rock do not be deaf to my voice I go down into the pit If you remain silent [Pre-Chorus] (FEMALE VOICE (solo, more intense)) I lift my hands Towards Your sanctuary [Chorus] (DUET (F+M, melodious but full of emotion)) Do not drag me away with the wicked With the workers of iniquity Who speak peace with their neighbors But have malice in their hearts [Verse 2] (MALE VOICE (solo, with a little anger)) Repay them according to their works According to the malice of their deeds Repay them for the work of their hands Give them what they deserve! [Pre-Chorus] (DUET (F+M, joining)) I lift my hands Toward Your sanctuary [Chorus] (DUET (F+M, with more strength than the first)) Do not drag me away with the wicked With the workers of iniquity Who speak peace with their neighbors But have malice in their hearts [Bridge - The Turning Point] (The music becomes sparser, only bass, drums, and piano) (MALE VOICE (solo, tone softening in wonder)) May He be blessed He has heard my cry (FEMALE VOICE (joins, joyful)) He is my strength In Him I trust [Final Chorus - Transformed into Praise] (The band explodes with all the power of '90s rock) (DUET (F+M, voice full of joy and strength, almost a hymn)) YES, YOU HAVE HELPED ME! AND MY HEART REJOICES! I THANK YOU! I PRAISE YOU WITH SINGING! [Outro] (DUET (F+M, music fades, voices more intimate but firm)) He is the strength of His people He is the Rock of salvation Save Your people Be their shepherd forever (Silence, then a final acoustic guitar chord)
