When my sorrows cover me

The definitive version of this text is given at When the waters cover me and should normally be used.

1 When my sorrows cover me,
save me, O God;
when my friends abandon me,
when I seek what cannot be,
when I look and cannot see,
save me, O God,
save me, O God.

2 You know all my guilty fears,
thank you, O God;
you have heard with open ears,
you have seen my contrite tears,
you will bless my future years,
thank you, O God,
thank you, O God.

After Psalm 69, Michael Perry (1942 - 1996)
