My heart is sick, I will not eat,
Skin and bones, I lie awake.
Life goes on, it's never long,
Moving swiftly as the evening shadows.
I wish and pray that I could see,
If there's hope for Job, there's hope for me.
Please oh Lord, come rescue me,
Help me God, I'm on my knees.
Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my plea,
In my time of sorrow, don't turn away from me.
Answer me quickly; I can't seem to cope,
For my bones burn like fire and the days fade into smoke.
Don’t take my life, as long as I’m young!
Don’t break my strength, before my song is sung!
I tried to escape but there was nowhere to run!
Rescue me now Lord, before my days are done!
