lyrics

| Verse 1 |
Oh Lord, of my salvation I cry out day and night before you
Let my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to hear my cry
For my soul is full of trouble, my life draws near to Sheol
I am counted among those all going down, down to the pit

| Pre Chorus 1 |
I am man who has no strength, like one set loose among the dead
Like the slain that lie in the grave, for they are cut off from Your hand

| Chorus |
Are Your wonders known in the darkness?
Your righteousness in the land
Are Your wonders known in the darkness?
In the land of forgetfulness

| Verse 2 |
You have made my friends to shun me, a horror I’ve become to them
Shut in so I can’t escape, my eyes grow dim through sorrow

| Pre 2 |
Each day I call upon Your Lord, I spread out my hands to You
Do You work wonders from the dead, do the departed rise in praise

| Verse 3 |
My morning prayer comes before, why do You cast my soul away
Why do you hide Your face, I suffer terror, helpless

| Pre 3 |
Your wrath has swept over me, Your dreadful assaults destroy me
They surround me like a flood, all day long they close in on me
