Speak, O God, and plead my
cause
Vindicate, save me Lord
I am lost in misery
Lord, my strength, rescue me
Why must I be brought back down
Why must I be brought back down
again?
Send your light, your loving care
Bring me to where you dwell
I've no way to see ahead
Days are hard, nights I dread
Darkness seems to be my closest
Darkness seems to be my closest
friend
Yes I'll go to God
For he is my delight
And I know he will provide
O my soul, rejoice
Even through the tears
Christ has come and he is near
He is near
Why, my soul, so down within?
There's a way: look to him
Darkness fell on Jesus Christ
Raised from death, he brought life
O my soul, now put your trust
O my soul, now put your trust
O my soul, now put your trust
in him
Yes I'll go to God
For he is my delight
And I know he will provide
O my soul, rejoice
Even through the tears
Christ has come and he is near
He is near
