lyrics

Lord God, my Savior, day and night
Before you cried have I.
Before you let my prayer come;
Give ear unto my cry.

For troubles great do fill my soul;
My life draws nigh the grave.
I'm counted with those that go down
To pit, and no strength have.

Even free among the dead, like them
That slain in grave do lie;
Cut off from your hand, whom no more
You have in memory.

You have me laid in lowest pit,
In deeps and darksome caves.
Your wrath lies hard on me, you have
Pressed me with all your waves.

You have put far from me my friends,
You made them to abhor me;
And I am so shut up, that I
Find no evasion for me.

By reason of affliction
My eye mourns dolefully:
To you, Lord, do I call, and stretch
My hands continually.

Will you show wonders to the dead?
Shall they rise, and you bless?
Shall in the grave your love be told?
In death your faithfulness?

Shall your great wonders in the dark,
Or shall your righteousness
Be known to any in the land
Of deep forgetfulness?

But, Lord, to you I cried; my prayer
At morn to you shall rise
Why, Lord, do you cast off my soul,
And your face from me hide

Distressed am I, and from my youth
I ready am to die;
Your terrors I have borne, and am
Distracted fearfully.

The dreadful fierceness of your wrath
Quite over me does go:
Your terrors great have cut me off,
They did pursue me so.

For round about me every day,
Like water, they did roll;
And, gathering together, they
Have compassed my soul.

My friends you have put far from me,
And him that did me love;
And those that mine acquaintance were
To darkness didst remove.

Lord God, my Savior, day and night
Before you cried have I.
Before thee let my prayer come;
Give ear unto my cry.

about

Tarblossom image

Tarblossom Turin, Italy

Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
