My Soul Is Downcast
Dedicated to Danielle Cheng for her insightful feedback.
My soul is downcast within me
My eyes are weary from weeping
My heart is faint; Lord, have mercy
Restore my faint heart that's failing
My soul is downcast within me
My hands are weary from working
My faith is weak; Lord, have mercy
Restore my weak faith that's failing
My soul is downcast within me
My eyes are tired of seeing
My strength is gone; Lord, have mercy
Restore my faint hope that's failing
My soul is downcast within me
But Christ is present in suffering
He gives me grace; He shows mercy
He gives me a sweet song to sing
My soul is downcast within me
But Christ is my Hope in suffering
He gives me hope; He shows mercy
He gives me a true tune to sing
My soul is downcast within me
But Christ is my Song in suffering
He helps me sing; He shows mercy
He restores my voice that's fading
My soul is downcast within me
But to Christ, my Saviour, I cling
He lifts me up; He restores me
In Him, I find rest in suffering
