Days grew dark, O God

Days grew dark

O God

Cords of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death came forth

Destruction had assailed on me;

And in my deep distress

I called upon His name.

He heard my voice

descended down

And saved me by His hand.

I will call on You

For You will answer me.

God hears me

speak to Thee

My refuge’s in Your love.

God is my retreat

I’m the pupil of His eye.

My crag

my rock

my shield

My strength is God in Him I lie.

The shadow of His wings

Is now the place I hide;

His presence here

my comfort here

All by one simple word.

God

I know one thing:

You’re the song within my heart.

You are a boundless stream

You flow in me to my delight.

Oh just fill me now

Satisfaction’s in Your life.

I want to stay

here with You

Salvation’s in Your name.
