How Long O LORD

How long, O Lord?
Will You forget;
Being ignored,
What I regret.

How long to hide,
Your face from me;
For I abide,
Answer my plea.

How long must I,
Console my soul;
Please hear my cry,
I lost control.

I have sorrow,
Within my heart;
For tomorrow,
I may depart.

How long shall my,
Foes to exalt;
I question why,
Showing their fault.

Consider me,
You are my Lord;
Can You not see,
My plea outpoured.

Light up my eyes,
Lest that I sleep;
To become wise,
Death not to keep.

Lest my foes say,
I have prevailed;
But I do pray,
That they have failed.

My foes rejoice,
I am shaken;
Lifting my voice,
Feel forsaken.

But I have trust,
Within Your love;
Cure me from lust,
Bless me thereof.
