Poor Bishop Hooper
Psalm 142
[Verse 1]
I cry to the Lord
With my voice I cry out
I plead to the Lord
For mercy, mercy
I pour out again
My complaint before Him
I tell Him my troubles

[Chorus]
When my spirit faints within me
You know my way
You know my way
In my pathway
They've hit a trap for me
You know my way
You know my way

[Verse 2]
I look to the right and see
There's no one who cares
Who takes notice of me
No refuge remains
No one cares for my soul
So I cry out to You, Lord
[Chorus]
And when my spirit faints within me
You know my way
You know my way
In my path where they've hit a trap for me
You know my way
You know my way

[Bridge]
I say You are my portion
In the land of life
Would You come, Lord, deliver me
Would you hear my cry
Bring me out of this prison
For the thanks I have to give
And the righteous will surround me
Because of Your goodness
I say You are my portion
In the land of life
Won't you come, Lord, deliver me
Would you hear my cry
Bring me out of this prison
For the thanks I have to give
And the righteous will surround me
Because of Your goodness to me
