Psalm 06 | LORD, How Long? (MSAL)

Lyrics by Jody Killingsworth and Jake Mentzel
Music by Jody Killingsworth

Don’t rebuke me in Your anger

Don’t destroy me in Your rage

My bones are languishing in sorrow

My heart is trapped within its cage

Raise me up into Your mercy

All my guilt and grief assuage

But, O LORD, how long?

Do they think of You in Sheol?

Do the dead declare Your ways?

Should breath depart my anxious body

Who then would sing You songs of praise?

Raise me up into Your mercy

And I will sing for all my days

But, O LORD, how long?

Depart from me, my enemy

God’s terrible and strong

He’s rising up to shame you

And it won’t be long

It won’t be long

But I’m weary with my groaning

All night I swim in seas of tears

My bones are filled with grief and sadness

My eyes grow weak with all my fears

Raise me up into your mercy

And let my cry come to your ears

But, O LORD, how long?

Come, Jesus, come

Breathe Your life in me
