(Lamentation 2) Longing For Your Salvation)

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

This song is the first track of the second part of this double album. It is the second song of lamentation.
It is based on Psalm 119:81, 22:6.

_____________________________

I'm a desert in the morning,
and a beggar at night,
and Jesus is an absent friend -
a casualty of this fight.

Sorrow’s struck its arrow true:
it pushes through my chest.
Hope lies dead among the ruins.
I’m half alive at best.

My soul
it faints
with longing for
your salvation.

Fear has poisoned every well of joy.
And I don’t seem to grow, I’m just growing old.
I’m a worm and not a man, a walking groan.
And my sighs become my food, the pit my home.

My soul
it faints
with longing for
your salvation.

Wretched, raw, and empty,
my days melt into one.
With every pang my trust is stripped;
I have no strength to bolster it.

All I have is trouble.
All I have is trouble.

My soul
it faints
with longing for
your salvation.

Longing for your
salvation.
