My sister Beth and I (at around age 14) |
It Was You
In
those times I was despised by my peers
Who
tormented me and took advantage of my fears
As
they stuck out their tongues and shook their heads
With
voices filled with venom and contempt said
“You
relied on the Lord, why doesn’t He save you?
If
the Lord likes you, why doesn’t He help you?”
It was You who created my home the
earth
It was You who brought me safely here
through birth
It was You who kept me safe when on
dangerous turf I trod
I have relied on you since I was born,
You have always been my God
My
strength, like water on the ground, is gone
My
bones are out of joint, my heart is melted wax
My
throat is dry, my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth
I am
most surely dead, most surely done
Unless
You, Lord Father, will pull me out
Repeat Chorus
I
will love You, Lord, turn to You in times of need
I
will not abandon You, You didn’t abandon me
I
humble myself, bow down to You
You
are my father, my savior, my Lord
When
I needed a friend it was You
I like it!
