Oh God, hear my prayer, don't turn on the way
My thoughts torment me, I'm in dismay
The wicked spirits, they weigh me down, in anguish I cry
Feeling like I'll drown, my heart's round
My heart trembles with fear, there's shadow drawing near
If only I could soar above, escape this storm, fight peace and love
Lord, confuse their wicked schemes
In the city streets, violence teems
Day and night, they roam with spite
Malice and lies, their only delight
My heart trembles with fear, there's shadow drawing near
If only I could soar above, escape this storm, fight peace and love
Morning, noon and night, I believe He hears my cries
In my time of need, He rescues me from the battle snare
His steadfast love, my burden He'll bear
So I cast my cares upon the Lord, in His strength I am restored
The wicked will fall, justice will prevail
In God's embrace, I'll never fail
