I am ready to give up.\par I am losing my courage.\par
You would even gamble to win things\par that belong to children without fathers.\par You would sell out your own friend.\par
Lord, hear my prayer.\par Listen to my cry for help.\par
Our enemies’ armies would have been\par like a flood washing over us,\par like a river drowning us.\par
My enemies have set a trap for me.\par I am ready to give up.\par But the Lord knows what is happening to me.\par
I look around,\par and I don’t see any of my friends.\par I have no place to run.\par No person is trying to save me.\par
Lord, I am hurt and lonely.\par Turn to me and show me mercy.\par
I am scared and shaking.\par I am terrified.\par
Wherever I am, however weak,\par I will call to you for help!\par Carry me to the place of safety far above. {\cf2\super [360]} \par
I think about God,\par and I try to tell him how I feel.\par But I can’t.\par
At night, I try to think about my songs.\par I talk with myself and try to understand.\par
Jesus was full of pain; he struggled hard in prayer. Sweat dripped from his face like he was bleeding. {\cf2\super [359]}
