Intro: D A G A D A G A D
Chorus:
-------
D A G
My God why have you forsaken me,
A Bm
To die at the hands of the enemy.
A G A D
O Lord you're so removed.
D A G
My God why have you forsaken me,
A Bm
To die at the hands of the enemy.
A G A D
O Lord you're so removed.
D A G A D
I cry for you all day long,
A G A D
But you seem to be gone.
A G A D
In you my fathers put their trust,
A G A
You always saved for you are just.
Em G A
But I am a worm and not a man,
Em G A G A D
I'm brought so low I cannot stand.
Repeat Chorus
D A G A D
My joints are all pulled apart,
A G A D
Like melting wax is my heart.
A G A D
The vicious dogs encircle me,
A G A
They laughed as they nailed me to the tree.
Em G A
My bones are whole but all pulled taut,
Em G A G A D
While they divide my clothes by lot.
Repeat Chorus
D A G A D
O Lord be not far from me,
A G A D
From the lions jaws rescue me.
A G A D
In the assemblies I will proclaim,
A G A
The glory and mercy of your name.
Em G A
All people raise your voices high,
Em G A G A D
To Him who gives eternal life.
Repeat Chorus
