When the waters cover me

1 When the waters cover me,
save me, O God;
when I look and cannot see,
when I seek what cannot be,
when my friends abandon me,
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 me all the years
thank you, O God.

After Psalm 69, Michael Perry (1942 - 1996)
