about

lyrics

Trigger Warning:
Psalm 88 describes an experience of trauma which includes moments of despair. As you listen, it may be helpful to remember the psalmist begins Psalm 88 with, "O God, my God, my Savior," an address indicating intimacy and trust. Though the psalmist is experiencing desolation, has the psalmist lost faith and hope? On the contrary, it requires deep faith to pray laments like this one. Thanks.

Refrain:
O my God, I cry to you in the night but you, you have forgotten me
O my God, I cry to you in the night but you, you have forgotten me

1
O my God
You pushed me into this deep, dark pit
O my God
Your chaos waters are rising 'round me. I’m in deep

Refrain

2
O my God
You've taken my friends away and
O my God
You've made me disgusting to them day after day

Refrain

3
O my God
Why reject me like this?
O my God
You must be enraged to turn your back on me or maybe you're gone
O my God
I'm ready to cash in my chips
O my God
Goodbye to my youth, goodbye to all this

Refrain

4
O my God
Your terrors have cut me off
O my God
Floodwaters rushing in They won't stop!
O my God
You've taken my friends away
O my God
I'm shunned by my neighbors every day

Refrain

5
O my God
I'm left all alone in darkness
O my God
You did this
