"I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart... My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes... I am a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth; I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply."
-- Psalm 38:8,10,13-14

Cry For Mercy

God almighty,
God in heaven
I need you now
I cry out for your mercy

God, my strength is gone
My body feels weak
I've collapsed upon the chill of pain
Lift me, oh God, that I may stand tall again

My heart is lost
Separated from my body
It cannot find it's way home
Shine a light for it, oh God, that it might find me again

My soul is torn
my body is numb
to everything but the bitter chill of sorrow
Mend it, oh God, that I may feel warmth again

My feet are heavy
I cannot move them
I stumble over my agony
Lift them, oh God, so that I may walk again

My lungs are shut
I cannot breathe
they have squeezed my life out of me
Fill them, oh God, that I may intake your sweet air again

My voice is mute
I cannot speak
My prayer is a silent scream, lost in the wind of bitterness
Please restore to me, oh God, the blessing of song

My eyes are blind
I cannot see
through the darkness of anguish
Let your light shine through, dear God

My ears are deaf
I cannot hear
through the sound of silence
Open them, my Lord, that I may hear joy again

My Lord, my Savior,
please help me now
you�re my only refuge
from the storm raging in my life

Heal my broken spirit
Save me from the waters closing in
You're my only hope, God
Please, hear my cry for mercy.

"Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint; oh Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave? I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears."
-- Psalm 6:2-6
