My God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from all my groaning? I cry out by day and night Yet You are holy My strength is dried up and my tongue is clung to my jaws In You our fathers trusted They trusted and You rescued them Yet not I I am a worm not man A disgrace to mankind, despised by the people All who see me deride me and sneer And yet You've said to me: "Blessed is he, persecuted here for Me For theirs is the Kingdom of God And great is your reward in Heaven." We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed Perplexed, but not driven to despair Persecuted, but not forsaken Struck down, but not destroyed Father forgive them for they know not what they do! Show them the light of Christ just as You did for me! For the sake of Christ, then, I am content Even with this weakness and persecution For when I am weak, then I am strong Through You For we who live are always being given over to death for Christ's sake So that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you! For now I will be a martyr for Christ A disgrace to mankind, despised by the people But You love me and will see me through Because You said to me: "Blessed is he, persecuted here for Me For theirs is the Kingdom of God And great is your reward in Heaven." "Blessed is he, persecuted here for Me For theirs is the Kingdom of God And great is your reward in Heaven." So blessed am I, inheriting eternal life Declaring that the Kingdom has come And from this wretched corpse set free! Because You died for me, I'll die for You Because You died for me, I'll die for You Because You died for me, I'll die for You Lord Jesus, receive my spirit Because You died for me, I'll die for You Because You died for me, I'll die for You Because You died for me, I'll die for You
