Lord don't rebuke me in your anger Don't discipline me in your wrath Be gracious lord for i am weak and My bones shake at the thought of it I'm sick at heart sick at heart Oh lord how long lord how long Return oh lord and rescue Won't you save me for you're faithful What dead man can remember you Who can lift their praise from sheol While tears dampen my pillow My beds a lake of sorrows My eyes are swollen shut lord From the ocean of my cries But the lord has heard the sound of my weeping The lord has heard my cry for his help The lord accepts my prayer no matter how its broken The lord will make my enemies turn and run
