Hear me, Lord!  I am in Distress
Dear Lord, hear my prayer!
Listen to my plea!
Don't turn away in my time
of distress, listen to me.

Bend down your ear, answer me
when I call -my days go by fast.
My heart is sick, I have no appetite.
It seems what I do will never last.

My life passes swiftly as the evening
sundown, I am blowing away.
But You, Lord, rule forever.
You'll always be here every day.

Help me Lord!  You are the only one
who can save me from this depression.
I know You will, Lord, in Your own time.
I pray for patience, hear my confession!
