When You Hid Your Face (Psalm 30)

American blues
words and music by Gary Hicks (9.23.2010)
copyright 2010, Gary L. Hicks

When You hid Your face / I was so dismayed
When You hid Your face / I was so dismayed
I cried, O Lord, won’t You be my help
Have mercy on me, I can’t help myself
When You hid Your face / I was so dismayed

Well, Your anger lasts / just a little while
Well, Your anger lasts / just a little while
I’m cryin', “Lord, won’t You be my help?
Have mercy on me, I can’t help myself”
Well, Your anger lasts / just a little while

But Your favor lasts / for my whole life long
Well, Your favor lasts / for my whole life long
My weepin’ and wailin’ may last all night
But rejoicing will come with the mornin’ light
‘Cause Your favor lasts / for my whole life long

(instrumental)

I will not be silent – I will sing for joy
I will not be silent – I will sing for joy
He turned my wailin’ to a joyful dance
Took off my old sack and got some happy pants
I will not be silent – I will sing for joy

I will praise the Lord / for He lifted me
I will praise the Lord / for He lifted me
He healed my body, brought me up from the grave
Oh, He’s strong to heal, and He’s mighty to save
I will praise You Lord / for You lifted me

(instrumental)
