Ps 13 How Long oh Lord

Please share the Word!

[Verse 1]
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with thoughts in the silence?
And sorrow in my heart endlessly?
[Chorus, Soaring Vocals, Gospel Choir Harmony]
But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness
My heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing to You, Lord, in the valley and the light
Because You have dealt bountifully with me
[Verse 2, Quiet Arrangement, Fingerstyle Guitar]
How long will my enemy rise high above me?
How long must I tremble and feel so small?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God
Enlighten my eyes lest I fall
[Bridge, Instrumental Interlude, Piano Solo with Swells]
(Soft gospel humming over piano chords)
(Ahh ahh ahh)
[Verse 3, Emotional Build, Layered Strings]
My enemies say they have conquered my soul
They rejoice when I’m shaken and fall
But I hold to Your word, I cling to Your truth
You're the strength that restores it all
[Chorus, Full Arrangement, Gospel Choir Returns]
I have trusted in Your lovingkindness
My heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing to You, Lord, in the shadow and the flame
For You have dealt bountifully with me
[Outro, Gentle Fingerstyle Guitar, Fading Vocals]
(Humming)
Because You have dealt bountifully with me
