Lest I Sleep

Brooke Ligertwood

How long, oh, Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
And have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, oh, Lord, my God
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death

Lest my enemy say: I have prevailed over him
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken
Lest my enemy say: I have prevailed over him
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken
But I have trusted in Your steadfast love
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation

I will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lordbecause He has dealt bountifully with me
