"Lest I Sleep" lyrics

Brooke Ligertwood Lyrics

"Lest I Sleep"

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
And have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord, my God
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken

But I have trusted in Your steadfast love
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation

I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord

I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord
I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me
