I needed this today. Did you?
Shane and Shane wrote a song based on this Psalm. This video is from 2006 at my favorite coffee shop in the world, Sugar Brown's. I love how Shane describes this song/Psalm as a song of frustration but one of hope. I can relate to that.
Lyrics to Psalm 13, by Shane and Shane:
How long oh Lord will You forget me
how long oh Lord will You hide
hide Your face from me
how long must i wrestle with me
and everyday have sorrow in my heart
sorrow in my heart
i will wait on You
i will wait on You
i will wait on You
look on me Lord and answer me
give my eyes light or i will sleep in death
i will sleep in death
my enemies say "i will overcome him"
and my foes rejoice even when i fall
i dont want to fall
for i will trust in Your unfailing love
my heart rejoices in Your salvation
i will sing to the Lord
how long oh Lord will You hide
hide Your face from me
how long must i wrestle with me
and everyday have sorrow in my heart
sorrow in my heart
i will wait on You
i will wait on You
i will wait on You
look on me Lord and answer me
give my eyes light or i will sleep in death
i will sleep in death
my enemies say "i will overcome him"
and my foes rejoice even when i fall
i dont want to fall
for i will trust in Your unfailing love
my heart rejoices in Your salvation
i will sing to the Lord
Yes friend! Thanks for this. I definitely needed it. What a beautiful reminder of his unconditional love for us.
