My LORD, do not leave me alone,
\ndo not hide your face from me.<\/p>\n
The emptiness in my heart leaves me with hopelessness,
\nDarkness has swallowed my joy.<\/p>\n
Weariness follows me daily
\nHow long, O LORD, how long will this pain last?<\/p>\n
Fear pierced my heart,
\nFright freezes my feet,
\nDread faces me at every turn.<\/p>\n
There is no peace in this house,
\nAnger and threats terrorise every day and every hour.<\/p>\n
O LORD, save me,
\nListen to the cries of your children!<\/p>\n
Your light will swallow up my darkness,
\nYour love will drown out the clamour.<\/p>\n
For you are my heavenly father
\nwho never abandons me.<\/p>\n
You fill my empty heart with love,
\nSo that I can love other empty hearts.<\/p>\n
Then will all your children praise your name forever,
\nAnd dance and sing with great joy.<\/p>\n
