Descent Into Darkness [Psalm 88]

Verse 1:

I cry out day and night, You hear me not,

My soul is sinking, in this endless rot.

I’m counted with the dead, forgotten by Your hand,

In the pit of despair, where none can stand!

Your wrath has crushed me, drowning in the flood,

I’m cast away, forsaken in my blood!

Chorus:

Into the darkness, I descend,

From this darkness, I cry for light,

Release me from this endless night!

Where are You now? Hear my plea,

Shine Your light and set me free!

I hate the dark, I seek Your face,

Bring me back to Your embrace!

Verse 2:

You’ve laid me in the depths of the grave,

Your wrath has broken, no one left to save.

My eyes grow dim from the weight of my cries,

Cut off from Your love, leave me to die!

Your terrors surround me, a suffocating tide,

I’ve lost all hope, with nowhere to hide!

Chorus:

Into the darkness, I descend,

From this darkness, I cry for light,

Release me from this endless night!

Where are You now? Hear my plea,

Shine Your light and set me free!

I hate the dark, I seek Your face,

Bring me back to Your embrace!

End of song:

Pull me from this shadowed night!

I want to see Your glorious light!

Break these chains, destroy the dark!

Bring me back, ignite my heart!

Break these chains, destroy the dark!

Bring me back, ignite my heart!

Ignite my heart!
