When my sorrows cover me

Music: When my sorrows cover me (Chris Rolinson), Complete Mission Praise (Marshall Pickering, 1999), No. 962

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.
