Lyrics

---Based on Psalm 88---
My soul is full of troubles, drawing near the grave
Like a man with no strength, lost and betrayed
Walking among the dead, it’s in darkness that I sit
I am counted with those who go down to the pit
Is darkness my only friend, I have to know
Is darkness my only friend, I don’t think so
I stretch out my hands, have you hidden Your face
As my eyes grow dim I call out in this place
Will the dead rise up will they praise Your name?
Will Your love come down to this pit of shame?
Is darkness my only friend, I have to know
Is darkness my only friend, I don’t think so
Do You cast my soul away?
Do You hide Your face from me?
I am afflicted every day
Why’d I have my way?
Lord as I cry out, do not hide Your face
You know what I need, in this barren place
Escaping from the dark, fleeing from this place
Only in your hands, will I find some grace
Is darkness my only friend, I have to know
Is darkness my only friend, I don’t think so
Do You cast my soul away?
Do You hide Your face from me?
I am afflicted every day
Why’d I to have my way?
