Author: Michael Perry 1942-96
O Lord, the God who saves me,
to you my spirit cries;
my world is full of trouble,
all hope of mercy dies.
2. Your anger lies upon me,
I cannot make amends;
your waves, they overwhelm me,
you take away my friends.
3. And shall the dead sing praises,
and can the darkness see
your righteous ways, your wonders,
your faithfulness to me?
4. I call to you in waking,
and seek you all day long:
O hear me, Lord and Saviour-
restore to me my song.
5. My God shall yet uplift me,
the Spirit come to save,
and Jesus my Redeemer
shall meet me from the grave!
