Psalm 13 Lyrics:
how long will you forget me
how long will you hide your face
how long will my heart anguish
with sorrow day by day

how long will you forget me
how long will you look away
how long will my mind anguish
with sorrow day by day

restore the light to my eyes
turn and answer me answer me
restore the light to my eyes
lest i sleep the sleep and never wake

how long will you forget me
how long will you hide your face
how long will my heart anguish
with sorrow everyday

restore the light to my eyes
turn and answer me answer me
restore the light to my eyes
lest i sleep the sleep and never wake

but my heart will rejoice in your deliverance
i will sing to the lord because you're generous

Can't even express how much this music ministers to my soul. I'm pastor's wife and I hear the darkest stories...and I also see God's mercy in those situations regularly. I'm currently reeling from yet another situation that I can't believe was real, and I'm at work listening to this playlist. It's grounding me...just pure scripture, God's raw truth, set to angelic music, reflecting what I see in my life, saying what my heart can't find the words to say. Sometimes I can't help but stop and worship. I'm at work so I'm trying not to cry but the tears just sit there in my eyes. Good tears. It's not all bittersweet though! The happy songs, like Psalm 30 and 33 get me up out my chair dancing and smiling lol. Thank you. Thank you for making this music.
