Lyrics
7. Suffering
Lyrics by Eva Zarley, Music by Josh Woodward entitled “Private Hurricane”
Spoken:
There’s a sacrament seldom spoken of. It is the Job experience. The sacrament of suffering. In such times, theLord does a deep work in our spirits that is hard to embrace or understand. In our desperation, we are drawn closer to Him, even as we feel stricken and wounded, by the very one we love.
Sing:
Oh, Lord hear my cry in this dark night of my soul. I know that You are with me, even as I feel alone.
You promised me that you would carry me through this time.
Jesus, Jesus hear my cry
I am alone, I’m weary of drowning in my dread and fears
I am undone—with despair and sorrow, swallowed by my fears
My enemies mock me, they say I haven’t got a prayer
Surrounded by sickness and death
Surrounded by loss—it takes my very breath
Sometimes I wonder where You are
Why heaven seems as brass
Cover me, hold me
My heart is breaking again
Still I hope in You
Still I trust in You
Even if He slays me I will serve my King
How can I confront the Holy One
Creator of all things
Angels blow to You, oh God,
I must do the same
Let my tears mingle with those of my Savior
As He hangs there for me
Shall I not drink of this cup, both bitter and sweet?
Spoken:
Suffering is a holy thing in the presence of God.
