[Intro]
I am weak from all my troubles.
Even my bones are wasting away...
In the shadow of my pain, I call Your name,
Through the storm, through the rain, You remain.
My heart's heavy, my soul's worn thin.
Oh Lord my God, let Your mercy begin.
[Verse 1]
I'm hiding in Your refuge, my shelter, my guide.
The world's closing in, nowhere left to hide.
Enemies whisper. Their lies cut deep.
But in Your arms Lord, my soul you keep.
[Pre-chorus]
You are my rock.
My fortress.
My stay.
Lead me through darkness, show me the way.
[Chorus]
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life...so please
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life so please...
I am weak from all my troubles
Even my bones are wasting away.
[Verse 2]
My heart's a battlefield, scarred and torn
Every step feels like I am reborn.
Shame surrounds me, my strength is gone
But Your love O Lord, keeps me holding on.
[Pre-chorus]
You see my anguish
You hear my plea
In Your faithfulness
You're carrying me
[Chorus]
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life...so please
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life so please...
I am weak from all my troubles
Even my bones are wasting away.
[Bridge]
Yet I trust in You
My God
My King
Through the ashes, Your praises I'll sing.
You've not forsaken
You've not turned away
Your love's my anchor
My hope
My strength
Although I'm broken
Your light still shines
In your mercy...
My heart... you'll bind.
[Chorus]
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life...so please
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life so please...
I am weak from all my troubles
Even my bones are wasting away.
[Verse 3]
O Lord, my Saviour
My peace
My strength
My song
In Your presence
I'll forever belong
My soul finds peace in Your Holy name.
[Chorus]
Be merciful to me, O Lord
For I am in trouble.
My eyes are tired from so much crying.
I am completely worn out.
I am exhausted by sorrow and weeping has shortened my life...so please
[Outro: slowed, drums beating with the last six parts of the verse]
I am weak from all my troubles, even my bones are wasting away.
