Lyrics:
God, my God, why won’t you answer when I’m pleading for relief?
Through the darkness, into daylight, I cry out in pain and grief.
Holy One enthroned in heaven, you inspire our trust and praise.
Please, deliver me from danger, LORD of all from ancient days.
In the dust of death I linger and the dogs are closing in.
Evil men have circled ‘round me, even while I bear their sin.
Pour my life out like a river; break my heart and count my bones.
See them staring, pointing, laughing; throwing insults just like stones.
"You delighted in your Father, let your Father come to save.
We’ll believe you if He frees you," words that haunt me to my grave.
They divide my clothes among them, but I know you hear my prayer.
Still I love you; still I trust you. Take my soul into your care.
We can’t stop life’s running river; only you reverse its flow.
You will raise me in my body; ev'ryone on earth will know.
Generations will remember how the Father sent His Son,
Their release from sin’s dark wages. It is finished; it is done.
