I am forgotten, a stranger to the grace of your presence My Savior. O hear my refrain

All the loneliness surrounds like a weary autumn rain and I wonder if I’ll ever see the sun again.

 

All of your breakers and all of your waves have submerged me with sorrow and threaten my end

While the enemy rises and his taunts ride the wind and I’m harried and carried and soon to descend

 

*Chorus

 

O tears you are my friend and my insecurity is my closest companion

O praise where have you gone? I was singing back then

The songs that are fading away…in the rain…of despair

 

My soul is a desert, my heart is athirst for the cisterns of sweetness that pour forth from You

So I’ll fight and I’ll linger for joy will come again…Soon I will praise you and mourning will end

 

*Chorus

 

O tears you are my friend and my insecurity is my closest companion

O praise where have you gone? I was singing back then

The songs that are fading away…in the rain…of despair

 

*Last Chorus

 

O tears you are my friend and my insecurity is my closest companion…

BUT O praise you will come again for my hope is in Him

The Rock that will not fade away…but please don’t delay…my despair
