Sacrament Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The torments of destruction overwhelmed me
Cords of the grave coiled around
The snares of death confronted me
In my distress I called to God
He rescued me, from agony
I have, resolved that my mouth will not sin
As for the deeds of men, by the words of your lips
My steps have held to your paths
Teach me, Your way
Oh Lord lead me in a straight path
Cause of my oppressors do not, leave me
For my foes rise against me scheming
()
Never, to be alone in the presence of God eternally
Living hell, existence without God is mortal agony
Affliction, free me from my anguish
Cast your burdens on the Lord
Anxiety is lifted
I praise the Lord, who counsels me
Even in the night my heart instructs me
The will of the Lord merciful
He never will abandon me
Nor will He let me see decay
He'll rescue me from agony
Answer, when I call to You my righteous God
Give relief from my distress
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you
He'll never let the righteous fall
You will, oh God
Bring down the wicked to the pit of hell
Save me, Father
I'll sleep in death without Your light
()
Never, to be alone in the presence of God eternally
Living hell, existence without God is mortal agony
The cords of death entangled me
The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me
Cords of the grave coiled around the snares of death
Confronted me, in my distress I called to God
He rescued me, from agony
I have, resolved that my mouth will not sin
I live to please you God
Write your law on my heart
By your Spirit guard my words
Guide me in your righteous path
Hear my, crying
Oh Lord to the desire of the afflicted you will listen
To You, oh Lord
I lift my soul in You
I trust my God
