1.
+Nigh unto the Grave+ (Psalm 88:1-5a) O Lord God of my salvation I have cried Day and night before Thee Let my prayer Come before thee Incline thine ear Unto my cry... For my soul Is full of troubles And my life draweth nigh Unto the grave I am counted with them That go down to the pit I am as a man That hath no strength Free among the dead Like the slain That lie in the grave...
2.
+Waves of Affliction+ (Psalm 88:5b-7) Whom Thou Rememberest no more And they are cut off From Thy hand Thou hast laid me In the lowest pit In darkness In the deeps Thy wrath Lieth hard upon me And Thou hast afflicted me With all thy waves... Whom Thou Rememberest no more And they are cut off From Thy hand Thou hast laid me In the lowest pit In darkness In the deeps Thy wrath Lieth hard upon me And Thou hast afflicted me With all thy waves...
3.
+Morning Prayer+ (Psalm 88:8-14) Thou Hast put away Mine acquaintance Far from me Thou hast made me An abomination unto them I am shut up And I cannot come forth Mine eye mourneth By reason of my affliction Lord, I have called Daily upon me I have stretched out my hands Undo Thee Wilt Thou shew wonders To the dead? Shall the dead Arise and praise Thee? Shall Thy lovingkindness Be declared in the grave? Or Thy faithfulness In destruction? Shall Thy wonders Be known in the dark? And Thy righteousness In the land of forgetfullness? But unto Thee Have I cried, O Lord.. And in the morning Shall my prayer prevent Thee Lord, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
4.
+While I Suffer+ (Psalm 88:15-18) I am afflicted And ready to die From my youth up While I suffer Thy terrors I am distracted Thy fierce wrath Goeth over me... Thy terrors Have cut me off... They came round about me daily Like water They compassed me About together Lover and friend Hast thou put far from me And mine acquaintance Into darkness... I am afflicted And ready to die From my youth up While I suffer Thy terrors I am distracted Thy fierce wrath Goeth over me... Thy terrors Have cut me off... They came round about me daily Like water They compassed me About together Lover and friend Hast thou put far from me And mine acquaintance Into darkness...

Sinking 04:51
+Sinking+ (Psalm 69:1-5) Save me, O God For the waters Are come in Unto my neck I sink in deep mire Where there is no standing I am come into deep waters Where the floods overflow me I am weary of my crying My throat is dried Mine eyes fail While I wait for my God They that hate me without cause Are more than the hairs of my head They that would destroy me Being mine enemies wronfully Are mighty Then I restored That which I took not away... O God, Thou knowest my foolishness And my sins are not hidden from Thee
6.
+In the Multitude of Thy Mercy+ (Psalm 69:5-14a1) O God, Thou knowest my foolishness And my sins are not hid from Thee Let not them that wait on thee O Lord God of hosts, Be ashamed for my sake Let not those that seek Thee Be confounded for my sake O God of Israel Because for thy sake I have borne reproach Shame hath covered my face I am become a stranger Unto my brethren An an alien Unto my mother's children For the zeal of Thine House Hath eaten me up And the reproaches of them that reproached thee Are fallen upon me... When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting That was to my reproach... I made sackcloth also my garment And I became a proverb to them... They that sit in the gate Speak against me And I was the song Of drunkards... But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee O Lord In an acceptable time, O God In the multitude of Thy mercy Hear me In the truth of Thy salvation Deliver me... O God, Thou knowest my foolishness And my sins are not hid from Thee Let not them that wait on thee O Lord God of hosts, Be ashamed for my sake Let not those that seek Thee Be confounded for my sake O God of Israel Because for thy sake
