your waterfalls

Tonight, it was stormy, and there was a tornado warning (luckily, there did not end up being a tornado) but during that time, I wrote this song in the room in my basement where I play guitar. The lyrics come primarily from Psalm 42, and some of Psalm 40. It's about some of the things I've been learning lately- mainly, that I'm not in control, and that I can trust God with everything. He is all that we need!


My heart fails within me
As deep calls out to deep
In the roar of your waterfalls
It swept over me
Over me

By day the Lord directs His love
At night His song is with me-
A prayer to the God of my life,
O God my rock, why have you forgotten me?

Why must I go about mourning,
Oppressed by the enemy?
Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
God, won't you calm the storm in me?

Because my heart fails within me
As deep calls out to deep,
In the roar of your waterfalls
It swept over me

So I put my hope in you
I will wait patiently
Though the waves overwhelm me
You can calm the sea
My hiding place, my peace
I put my hope in you

I put my hope in you

May all those who seek you
Rejoice and be glad
And always cry out
"The Lord be exalted!"
But as for me
I am poor and needy.
You are strong, I am weak,
I will put my trust in you.

I put my trust in you

When my heart fails within me
As deep calls out to deep
And the roar of your waterfalls
Is crashing over me

I will lift my eyes,
I will wait patiently.
Though the waves overwhelm me,
You can calm the sea.
You're my hiding place, my peace
And everything I need,
I put my hope in you.

I put my hope in you.

Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
For yet I will praise him,
Yet I will praise you,
My Savior, my God.
