Lord, tell me, what will happen to me now?\par Tell me, how long will I live?\par Let me know how short my life really is.\par
“I wish you would hide me in my grave.\par I wish you would hide me there,\par until your anger is gone.\par Then you could pick a time\par to remember me.\par
God knows all about us.\par God knows we are made from dust.\par
How long will I live?\par Lord, when will you punish the people\par who persecute me?\par
Teach us how short our lives really are,\par so we can become really wise.\par
