Lord hear my prayer
In your righteousness
Listen to my cry for mercy
Bring me relief
And end to my grief
Saviour come quickly to me
Do not bring me
To your judgment seat
For no-one is righteous before you
All my hope is in you
The enemy comes
I’m crushed to the ground
And I’m forced to dwell in the darkness
My spirit grows faint
My heart is dismayed
Do not hide your face from me Lord
Yet this I recall
Your deeds from of old
The works of salvation you’ve done
How I thirst for you, Lord
Now teach me to walk
Before you my God
Send forth your Spirit to lead me
Give life to my soul
For your great name’s sake
Do not let evil hold sway
In your steadfast love
Destroy all my foes
Deliver me Lord in your righteousness
I will live for you Lord

Darkness (Psalm 88)

Saviour God, I cry to you
With tears both night and day
Turn your ear towards me Lord
And hear me when I pray
Troubles rise within my soul
My life draws near the grave
All my strength has ebbed away
No health in me remains
Tis you O Lord, have cast me down
Beneath the stormy sea
I cry out, but none shall hear
My eyes are dim with grief
What gain if I should fade and die?
Can shadows bring you praise?
Who can know your faithfulness
When they lie in the grave?
But I, O Lord, cry out to you
When dawn sends forth its rays
Why do you hide your face from me
And turn my soul away?
For many years beneath your hand
My sorrows know no end
None have I to share my grief
But darkness my closest friend

How long O Lord will you forget me?
How long O Lord will you hide your face away?
How long O Lord must anxious thoughts arise in me?
And all the day have sorrow in my heart?
Consider me - give me an answer Lord
Light up my eyes, or my soul will sleep in death
My enemies threaten me on ev’ry side
And they rejoice every time I fall
But I will trust your steadfast love
Your grace and mercy shown to me
My soul will sing to you my Lord
For I know you have been good to me

The Lord’s my shepherd
Nothing shall I lack, or need
He bids my soul rest
In the pastures wide and green
Saviour shepherd me
Saviour shepherd me
His grace restores me
I walk in paths of righteousness
And for His glory
My king will keep me till the end
You are all I need
Jesus all I need
Your love and mercy follow me
Til I feast at the table of the King
And in the shadow
When all my path’s too dark to see
My Lord is with me
His rod and staff will comfort me
Saviour shepherd me
Saviour shepherd me
You are all I need
Jesus all I need
Your love and mercy follow me
Til I feast at the table of the King
Saviour shepherd me
Saviour shepherd me

Saviour you are my God
I seek you with all of my heart
My body and soul cry out for you
I’ll praise you as long as I live
With every breath that you give
I will lift up my hands to you
You satisfy my soul
I have seen you in the sanctuary
And known your power, beheld your glory
Your love is greater than anything
This life could give or world afford me
I think of you in the night
With terrors on every side
I’m safe in the shadow of your wings
No enemy could stand
Before your mighty hand
Soon you will crush the evil one
Beneath our feet
And when my faith is weak, strong arms hold me
I fear my feet may slip, your right arm holds me fast

O God our rock, our strong defence
Our hiding place, in ev’ry trial
Though mountains fall, and oceans roar
Nothing shall I fear, nothing shall I fear
Nothing shall I fear O Lord
A river flows, beneath your throne
Within these walls, we stand secure
You lift your voice, the nations fade
Soon you will return, soon you will return
Soon you will return to save
Our God, fortress for the weak
Help in time of need
Strong deliverer
Our God, with us in the storm
With us evermore
Mighty Lord of all
Come now behold, the deeds of God
His reign of peace in all the earth
He breaks the bow, an end to war
Be still before the Lord, be still before the Lord
Be still before the Lord most high

Weeping is only for a night
Weeping is only for a night
In the morning we rejoice
I will exalt you Lord, you lifted me
You’ve not abandoned me to my enemies
I called upon your name
You healed me in your grace
You spared my life from going to the grave
When Lord you favoured me I felt secure
But when you hid your face, I was dismayed
Your anger will not last
It is in a moment passed
But your favour for a lifetime will remain

Have mercy on me Lord
You’re my strength in every trial
You’re my shelter from the storm
Have mercy on me Lord
I will sing beneath the shadow
Of your strong and mighty wings
Though I lie down amongst the lions
You are there
Though I may walk through the fire
I’ll not be harmed
Be exalted Lord
Let your glory fill the earth
Be exalted Lord
Let your glory fill the earth, fill the earth
When darkness closes in
And my enemies surround me
You will send your love and grace
Awake my soul
I will praise your great salvation
With a song I’ll wake the dawn
Your love is high above the heavens
It fills the sky
I’ll sing your praise among the nations
Lord most high

My soul finds rest in God alone
Salvation comes from him my rock
My one defence against the foe
He holds me firm no more to fall
How long O men will you attack
And break me down, and crush my soul
Their words are sweet but in their hearts
They feed on lies and curse the Lord
Find rest my soul in God alone
The source of all my joy and hope
My one defence against the foe
He holds me firm no more to fall
The Lord most high sustains my life
A place of peace amidst the waves
O put your trust in God our rock
Pour out your hearts and know his grace
How frail is man, just like a breath
Both rich and poor arise and fall
When wealth may come, preserve your hearts
Don’t set your hope on earthly gold
One thing O Lord you said to me
That you are good and you are strong
You will reward to every man
According to the things we’ve done

With all my heart I’ll praise you
Joining with the angels I will sing
You heard my cry for mercy
From the depths you saved me, made me bold
Let all the earth adore you
Every King and nation, shout your name
You look upon the lowly
From your throne of glory, you stoop down
Though I may walk through trouble
Your right hand will save me from all harm
Your love endures forever
Saviour you will lead me, bring me home
