De Profundis from Beginnings by Ascher

My retreat among shadows my shield from the light
Longing for darkness and the comfort of night
This wasteland within me is all I am shown
This hopeless despair is all I have known

Oh Lord lift me from the abyss
Deliver me from this

Believe
A voice deep within me
My lie
Wispers my name
You live
It knows all my sorrows
To die
It places the blame
You won't
Pulling me downward
Succeed
Revealing my sin
Your hopes
The taunting from nowhere
All bleed
Accusations begin

Please Lord lift me from the abyss
Deliver me up from this
My God hear the plea from my soul
Would not this be Your goal?

This fog, disillusion, this life that I've missed
Removing confusion I'm now gently kissed
Pouring compassion upon a worn soul
And leaving me helpless beyond my control
Is this Your goal?

I reach
A voice again finds me
For you
It's different this time
I pull
It tries to encourage
You through
Its message sublime
I give
Encouraging meaning
You life
And offering hope
Remove
I choose now to listen
Your strife
I choose now to cope

You've lifted me from the abyss
Delivered me from this
