Poor Bishop Hooper
Psalm 143
[Verse 1]
Hear my prayer, O Lord
Give ear to my pleas
In Your faithfulness
Won't You answer me?
Do not bring Your servant
Here into judgment
For no one living
Is righteous before You
Enemies pursue me
To the ground he sends me
Darkness is my dwelling
Like those long dead
My spirit is faint
My heart is dismayed
I remember old days
What Your hands have done
[Chorus]
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Likе a parched land, would You answer me?
[Verse 2]
Hidе not Your face from me
Lest I be dead, and let me
Hear in the morning
Of Your steadfast love
Set me on sure footing
For Your will, Lord, teach me
Let Your Spirit lead me
On level ground
[Chorus]
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
I stretch out my hands to You
My soul, it thirsts for You
Like a parched land, would You answer me?
[Outro]
O Lord, for Your name's sake
Save my life with Your faith
O Lord, for Your name's sake
I am Your servant
