Chorus

Oh my soul

why are you cast down?

Oh my soul

lost in barren ground

blistering sun

beats down on me

blistering sun

burns relentlessly

I looked on my left hand

and found no one there

Looked on my right hand

for someone to care

but refuge has failed me

no one cares for my soul

as far as I can see

and it's taking its toll

I cried out to You Father

please hear my cry

just a little drop of water

for my soul that's so dry

you have brought me low

for my own good

please help me Father

don't be too slow

Chorus

Oh my soul

why are you cast down?

Oh my soul

lost in barren ground

blistering sun

beats down on me

blistering sun

burns relentlessly

All of my enemies

are stronger than me

they have set snares

placed secretly

they wait for the time

for me to fall down

I can see them coming

they are all around

Bring my soul out

of this dark prison

please grant my request

I know I am risen

put my soul at rest

flood me with plenty

and hold nothing back

let my praises be many

Chorus

Oh my soul

why are you cast down?

Oh my soul

lost in barren ground

blistering sun

beats down on me

blistering sun

burns relentlessly
