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?
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?
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?
But, O LORD, how long?
But, O LORD, how long?
But, O LORD, how long?
Come, Jesus, come
Come, Jesus, come
Come, Jesus, come
Breathe Your life in me
