1. Don’t turn a deaf earwhen I call you, God.If all I get from you isdeafening silence,I’d be better offin the Black Hole.
2. I’m letting you know what I need,calling out for helpAnd lifting my armstoward your inner sanctum.
3-4. Don’t shove me intothe same jail cell with those crooks,With those who arefull-time employees of evil.They talk a good line of “peace,”then moonlight for the Devil.Pay them back for what they’ve done,for how bad they’ve been.Pay them back for their long hoursin the Devil’s workshop;Then cap it with a huge bonus.
5. Because they have no idea how God worksor what he is up to,God will smash them to smithereensand walk away from the ruins.
6-7. Blessed be God—he heard me praying.He proved he’s on my side;I’ve thrown my lot in with him.Now I’m jumping for joy,and shouting and singing my thanks to him.
8-9. God is all strength for his people,ample refuge for his chosen leader;Save your peopleand bless your heritage.Care for them;carry them like a good shepherd.
