Psalm 22 Lyrics:
my god my god why have you forsaken me
why have you abandoned me
my god my god why are you so far away
when i plead and plead

my god my god every day i call to you
still you’re never answering
my god my god every night i know you hear my voice
but i cant quite seem to find relief

yet you are holy enthroned in praise
israel they trusted you and they were saved
they cried out to you and were shown the way
up out of darkness
up out of darkness into the place you made

my god my god they’ve pierced my hands my feet
i can see the people counting up my bones
my god my god they’ve divided what i own among themselves
and gambled for my clothes

my god my god, i'm captivated by a thirst that ties my tongue
and dries up all the strength inside of me
my god my god though i don’t know of who i sing
or what these lines so true foresee
would you come quickly

yet you are holy enthroned in praise
israel they trusted you and they were saved
could I cry out to you in the very same way
bring me up out of darkness
up out of darkness up out of darkness into the place you made

but he has not despised me or left me in affliction
he did not his face from me he did not hide his face
the humble will eat and be satisfied those who seek the Lord will praise him

the families of all nations the ends of the earth remember
and people yet unborn proclaim he alone has all dominion
he did not hide his face
he did not hide his face
he did not hide his face
