Answer me when I call

(Slow Piano)

(Verse 1)

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness

You have freed me from my troubles

Have pity on me, and hear my prayer

Many are saying, who can show us anything good?

Let the light of your presence shine on us

(Chorus)

You put more joy in my heart

Then when their grain and new wine increase

I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down

Because you alone, O Lord, enable me to live securely

Help me dwell in your presence forever

(Verse 2)

O Lord, do not punish me in your anger or discipline in your rage

Have pity on me, O Lord, because I am weak

Heal me, O Lord, because my bones shake with terror

My soul has been deeply shaken with terror

Come back, O Lord, rescue me

Save me because of your mercy

(Chorus)

You put more joy in my heart

Then when their grain and new wine increase

I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down

Because you alone, O Lord, enable me to live securely

Help me dwell in your presence forever
