Forsaken of God - Psalm 22: 15
Here you find the psalmist feels down
we all can sympathize with how he feels
feelings of depression and despair
not knowing where to turn, lost his zeal
He complains of losing his strength
been dried up with no water to drink
like broken pottery cracked of no use
crying out to God to save from the brink
The Psalmist tells of his complaint
his tongue has no good use left
it stuck to his mouth, can't move
feeling as if he's just about to faint
Here I am down now in the dust
thus speaks the Psalmist in despair
accusing his God of bringing him there
death he felt was certainly in the air
But he never totally lost hope
calling to God, O Lord come to my aid
deliver my soul extend my life
for your promises shall never fade
(Psalm 22:15. My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death.)
