Psalm 6 (2006-8?,
acapella)
Because of all my foes my eyes grow weak with sorrow;
Because of all my foes my vision starts to fail
I couch myself with tears nights are spent in weeping
The sound of my groaning does Heaven hear?
Shall I ever praise Thee again?
See Your love deliver me?
Shall I ever praise Thee again?
Touch the other side of agony?
O Father, speak Your word but not in tones of anger
O LORD, heal my soul
of this anguish of mine
Whose way is ever pleasing to Thee, O Father, holy?
Mercy, this child is fainting for love’s restoring touch
Shall I ever praise Thee again?
See Your love deliver me?
Shall I ever praise Thee again?
Touch the other side of agony?
Yes, the LORD does hear my prayer and now I hear them
fleeing
My taunting enemies
are like night o’ercome by day
The grave shall not receive me, fresh reason to extol Thee
Faith has found its vict’ry in God Most High!
I shall ever
praise Thee, my Friend
Your love e’er be my story!
I shall ever
praise Thee, my Friend
This contest won Thee glory
To Thee be all the glory!
