Longing for God

Why are you cast down, O my soul,
Being in turmoil in me;
My hope in God and will console,
Giving me the insight to see.

I praise Him for my salvation,
I remember You from the land;
Giving us a new foundation,
Making it fertile from the sand.

Deep calls to the deep roar,
Water flows down the waterfall;
Your breakers and waves at the shore,
Have gone over me as to call.

By day You command steadfast love,
At night Your song is within me;
Prayers for my life to You above,
Thanking You giving Your decree.

So why have You forgotten me?
I go mourning from depression;
You are my rock please hear my plea,
For the enemy oppression.

There’s a deadly wound in my bone,
From taunting of adversaries;
Saying You have left me all alone,
The burdens that my soul carries.

Why are You casting down my soul,
Causing this tumult within me;
I feel it has taken a toll,
On the confidence that should be.
