Psalm 42 by The Corner Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As a deer pants for flowing streams
So pants my soul for you, O God
My soul thirsts for God
For the living God
When shall I come and appear before God?

[Verse 2]
My tears have been my food day and night
While they say to me, continually
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember as I pour out my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
How I would go with the throng
And lead them in procession to the house of God
With glad shouts and songs of praise
A multitude keeping festival

[Chorus]
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him
My salvation and my God
[Verse 3]
My soul is cast down within me
Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan
And of Hermon from Mount Mizar
Deep calls to deep at the roar of Your waterfalls
All Your breakers and Your waves have gone over me

[Verse 4]
By day the Lord commands His steadfast love
And at night His song is with me
A prayer to the God of my life
I say to God, my Rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?

[Bridge]
Why do I go mourning because of
The oppression of the enemy?”
As with a deadly wound in my bones
My adversaries taunt me
While they say to me, continually
“Where is your God?”

[Chorus]
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you in turmoil within me?
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him
My salvation and my God
[Outro]
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
My salvation and my God
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
My salvation and my God
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
My salvation and my God
