Don't Foresake Me (Psalm 38) Lyrics

Beneath the weight of my mistakes

My spirit bends but never breaks

The arrows of my shame pierce deep

While in the darkness here I weep

But even as I stumble now

Before Your throne I humbly bow

Lord, don't forsake me in my pain

When strength has left, let hope remain

Though friends stand distant, You are near

Your mercy draws me through my fear

My wounds are open to the bone

My guilt leaves me to walk alone

Those who once loved me turn away

While others plot throughout the day

But even as I stumble now

Before Your throne I humbly bow

Lord, don't forsake me in my pain

When strength has left, let hope remain

Though friends stand distant, You are near

Your mercy draws me through my fear

I confess my every sin

Let Your healing now begin

Though darkness claims the evening sky

Your light will break as morning nears

Lord, don't forsake me in my pain

When strength has left, let hope remain

Though friends stand distant, You are near

Your mercy draws me through my fear

Your love will conquer every fear
