Vapor and Mist (Psalm 39) Lyrics

In silence I wrestle with words unsaid

While flames of frustration burn in my head

I set a guard before my tongue

But still these thoughts won't leave me, they've just begun

Show me my days like shadows that fade

Help me to see how brief we're made

All our pride like morning frost

In the heat of day, so quickly lost

(I cry out)

My hope is in You alone

This fragile breath, these bones

A whisper in the infinite

A pilgrim passing through

My hope is in You

Every treasure we chase is vapor and mist

Our anxious hearts chase what won't persist

Like phantoms dancing in the night

We build our kingdoms out of candlelight

Hear my prayer, hear my cry

Don't turn away as tears fall from my eyes

I'm just a stranger here below

Like all my fathers were before

My hope is in You alone

This fragile breath, these bones

A whisper in the infinite

A pilgrim passing through

My hope is in You

(My hope is in You)
