Psalm 89, Sort Of... Lyrics

I said Lord, How come you're hiding?

How long will your anger burn like fire?

I realize you give me favor, but I still catch quite a bit of abuse

Now, mind you, I'm not complaining, but could you maybe give 'em

Just an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny microscopic little taste of what

They're gonna get for what they've been doing to me all of these years

Now, I know I'm not always gonna be here

You didn't set it up that way

Please remember how short my life is

Please remember you gave me a body that's gonna die

Whether you return for me or you take me first doesn't matter

Either way I'm gonna come runnin' to be by your side

Lord, I know you're always right here, standin' by my side

But I don't always feel your lovin' hand on my shoulder

Without it I can't make it (I've tried...)

You treat me better than I deserve

You treat me better than I would treat myself

If what you've got in store for me is only half of what I've got now

I'm gonna be livin' like a king

Ain't nothin' I'd want to rearrange, no way or no how
