[Verse 1]
Why, O Lord, do You stand far off?
Why, O Lord, do You hide?
Why, O Lord, in the troubled times?
Why, O Lord, do You hide?

[Verse 2]
For the wicked boast and they still take pride
Like waiting ghosts for their wretched time
To then break forth out from where they hide
Like a lion in the thicket to murder, steal, and lie

[Chorus]
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
And You will strengthen our hearts, strengthen our hearts
Surеly You will hear our cries
Surely You will hеar our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
And You will strengthen our hearts, strengthen our hearts
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
And You will strengthen our hearts, strengthen our hearts
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
Surely You will hear our cries
And You will strengthen our hearts, strengthen our hearts
[Outro]
Why, O Lord, do You stand far off?
Why, O Lord, do You hide?
Why, O Lord, in the troubled times?
Why, O Lord, do You hide?
