REFRAIN
\nEmpty, broken, lifeless
\nI give my spirit, Lord.<\/p>\n
VERSE 1
\nIn you, O Lord, I take refuge.
\nLet me never be put to shame
\nIn your Justice rescue me.
\nRedeem me, O faithful God.<\/p>\n
VERSE 2
\nI am the scorn of all my enemies,
\na horror to all my friends.
\nLike the dead, I am forgotten;
\nlike a broken and useless vessel.<\/p>\n
VERSE 3
\nMy fate lies solely in your hands.
\nMy Father, deliver me!
\nO Lord, I say, “You are my God.”
\nI place all my trust in you.<\/p>\n
VERSE 4
\nLet your face shine on your servant
\nand save me, O Lord of love
\nAll who wait for the Lord:
\nHave courage, be strong, find hope!<\/p>\n
