lyrics

Why Are You Cast Down? (Psalms 42 & 43)
Words & Music: Hitoshi Yamaguchi

I remember how I marched up with the multitude
Shouts of praise to the house of God
Now I’m thirsty in the desert, longing for you
When will I see? What can I do?

They say, they say to me, “Where is your God?”
I cry, “It’s been so long, so long, so…”

Why are you cast down, oh my soul, oh my soul?
Why are you so troubled, oh my soul, oh my soul?

I remember how you led me through the lands of old
You sang your love to me night and day
Now I’m drowning in the deep, deep waters alone
Forgotten, grieving a heart grown cold

They say, they say to me, “Where is your God?”
I cry, “It’s been so long, so long, so…”

Why are you cast down, oh my soul, oh my soul?
Why are you so troubled, oh my soul, oh my soul?
Hope in God, praise Him again
Praise the God of salvation

Defend, deliver me, send out your light, your truth
Lead me into your joy, my God, my refuge

Why are you cast down, oh my soul, oh my soul?
Why are you so troubled, oh my soul, oh my soul?
Hope in God, praise Him again
Praise the God of salvation
