Oh Lord, hear my cry
I'm a man with many troubles
In the regions dark and deep
This world lies heavy on me

Your steadfast love remains
Even though I feel abandoned
Invade my soul
Break the chains of doubt and sorrow

Skin for skin
All that I am
Will bless your name
In you remain

In dust and ashes I repent
Resolved to make you my content
In dust and ashes I confess
My love for you within this test

Afflicted, even close to death
Like I'm hanging in the gallows
Fangs of pain have clinched my flesh
My eyes grow dim with sorrow

Your wonders penetrate with light
The darkest of all shadows
Invade my soul
Break the chains of doubt and sorrow
