Holding Onto Hope

Dust
For my days vanish like smokeMy bones burn like glowing embersMy heart is blinded and withered like grassI forget to eat my foodBecause of my loud groaning's I am reduced to skin and bonesIm like a desert owl, like an owl amoung the ruinsI lye awake.All day long my enemies taunt me.But those who rail against me, use my name as a curseHear my prayer O LordLet my cry for help come to youDo not hide your face from me when i am in distressTurn ear to me when i call, answer me quicklyFor i eat ashesBecause of your great wrathFor you have taken me upMy days are like the evening shadow, i wither like the GrassThe Lord is compassionate and graciousSlow to anger abounding in LoveHe will not always accuse, nor will he harbor His anger foreverHe does not treat us according as our sins deserveOr repay us according to our antiquities.For as high as the heaven is above the earth.Letras de cancionesSo great as his love for those that fear HimAs far as the east is from the westSo far as he removed our transgressions from usAs a father has compassion on his childrenSo the Lord has compassion on those who fear himFor he knows that we are poor, he remembers that we are DUST!
