lost boy found - Psalm 88 Lyrics

O LORD the God of my salvation
Day and night I cry out before You
May my prayer be heard on high
Incline Your ear to my cry"
My soul is wrecked full of grief
I draw to the grave's dark pit beneath

I am like a man without strength
Forsaken among the dead
Like the slain who lie in the grave
Whom You remember no more
Cut off from Your care

You have laid me in the lowest pit
In depths so dark there's no light within
Your wrath weighs heavy upon my soul
And all Your waves have submerged me whole

You have removed my friends from me
You've made me repulsive all alone to be
I am confined there's no escape
And my eyes grow dim with grief's heavy weight
I call to You daily O LORD
I spread out my hands in desperate accord

Do You work wonders for the dead?
Do dead spirits rise up to praise You?
Can Your love be praised from grave's bed
Your faithfulness in the depths of destruction?

You have laid me in the lowest pit
In depths so dark there's no light within
Your wrath weighs heavy upon my soul
And all Your waves have submerged me whole

From my youth I was afflicted and near death
I've borne Your terrors I am in despair
Your wrath has swept over me
Your terrors have destroyed my life
All day long they engulf me like water
They enclose me on every side
You have removed my beloved and my friend
Now darkness alone is my closest companion

But to You O LORD I cry for help
In the morning my prayer comes before You
Why O LORD do You reject me still?
Why do You hide Your face from my view?

You have laid me in the lowest pit
In depths so dark there's no light within
Your wrath weighs heavy upon my soul
And all Your waves have submerged me whole
