Lyrics
Yeah
Psalm Forty-Two and Forty-Three
Jon Corbin got that shaker
Uh, for real though (yo)
As the deer pants for flowing streams
So pants my soul for You, O God
Or so it seems
So easy, only speaking when we wish to please
We say the right words, but then forget to breathe
But if I'm honest, and not just faking the polish
I'll acknowledge that God is my only one option
And my Holy, most Awesome one option
My soul thirsts for You
Not these desert concoctions
So when am I gonna come before Him
My tears been my food
Whether awake or snoring
How can I stay strong?
When they saying "where's your God?"
All day long (yeah, uh)
So I remember as I sing You the song
How I'd come to Your house, even lead the throng
With glad shouts of praise, so festive
Still inside, ask the question
Why, my soul, downcast
Why, my soul, down fast
Hope in God and give praise
My Savior and Lord He stays
Why, my soul, downcast
Why, my soul, down fast
Hope in God and give praise
My Savior and Lord He stays
My soul is downcast within me
I must admit
So I will choose to remember You
Though I often forget
From the land of the Jordan
You're not far
The heights of Hermon
From Mount Mizar
Deep calls to deep at the roar of Your waterfalls
Your waves have crushed me down to an altar call
He commands His steadfast love in daylight
And then His song is with me even at night
A prayer to the God of my life
I know that He's the Great Physician
Even though I'm cut by the knife
I say to God, my Rock, who stops the sea
You are the God who sees
Why have You forgotten me
Why do I have to be sad
With the enemy oppressing me
Broken bones, I moan with no one to tend to me
So show me how to stay strong
"Where's Your God?" all day long
Why, my soul, downcast
Why, my soul, down fast
Hope in God and give praise
My Savior and Lord He stays
Vindicate me, my God
I'm in the courtroom waiting
You're the Judge and it's me versus a whole unfaithful nation
Plead my case, God
They wanna deface God
The wicked gambling, but I don't wanna play the odds
Will You rescue me
The wicked one right next to me
They want me to be a clone
But I'm like, no
Don't let me be
You are my Refuge, God, let me be Your refugee
That's why I'm asking
Why have You rejected me
Why am I always depressed
Because of the enemy oppressing me
When You gonna let me breathe and rescue me
Your light and Your faithful care go and send to me
Lead me, so that I might be able to depend on Thee
Let them lead me to Your holy, mountain
Where You dwell and You only, the Fountain
Then I'll come and worship You right my God
You are my Joy, my Delight, You are my God
Why, my soul, downcast
Why, my soul, down fast
Hope in God and give praise
My Savior and Lord He stays
Why, my soul, downcast
Why, my soul, down fast
Hope in God and give praise
My Savior and Lord He stays
Oh, my soul, give praise
Put your hope in God
Oh, my soul, give praise
Put your hope in God
Oh, my soul, give praise
