Poor Bishop Hooper
Psalm 88
[Verse 1]
O God of my salvation
I cry out day and night
May my prayer come now before You
Would You listen to my cry?
For my soul is full of troubles
And death, it draws near
With no strength, I'm like the slain in the grave
Whom You no longer remember
[Chorus]
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
[Verse 2]
In the darkest places and the deeps
Your wrath lies heavy upon me
You have overwhelmed me with Your waves
I am trapped and I cannot escape
My eyеs grow dim in sorrow
Every day I call to You, Lord
I open up my hands
Do You work wonders for thе dead?
Do departed rise to praise You?
Does Your love come from the grave?
Are Your wonders known in Abbadon, or good where those forget?
[Chorus]
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
[Bridge]
Oh, why do you hide Your face from me?
Close to my demise since I was a kid
Your wrath, Your assaults all surrounding
I suffer Your horrors, I'm desperate
[Chorus]
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
Darkness is my only friend
