I WATCHED MY WAYS (PSALM 39)
4 5 -5 6 5 -4 5 -4 4
I watched my ways; I kept from sin.
4 5 6 7
My lips were sealed;
-7 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4
I kept my pain within.
4 5 -5 6 5 -4 5 -4 4
But silent, still, my pain did grow.
4 5 6 7
My heart grew hot;
-7 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4
A fire burned in my soul!
4 -4 4 5 4 -4 4 5
So then I spoke — I spoke my tongue,
-7 -7
Lord! Lord!
7 -7 -6
Hear my prayer!
-6 6 -5 6 5 -4
Lord, hear my cry for help,
4 -4 4 5 6
My daily weeping!
4 -4 4 5 -5 5 -4
I call to You, O God.
Verse 2:
Show me, O Lord, how long my stay.
How fleeting are the number of my days!
My span of years is but a breath.
Relentlessly, I march unto my death.
I am a phantom, who toils in vain, Lord! Lord!
Be with me.
Lord, all my hope is You.
You are my meaning.
Save me from sin, O God.
Verse 3:
4 5 -5 6 5 -4 5 -4 4
O Lord my God, please hear my prayer.
4 5 6 7 -7
Take off my bur-den;
-6 6 -5 6 5 -4
Lift me with Your care.
4 5 -5 6 5 -4 5 -4 4
Lord turn a-way this test of pain,
4 5 6 7 -7 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4
That one last time I ma-y rejoice again,
4 -4 4 4
Be-fore I die.
4 -4 4 4
Be-fore I die.
