Renascent - In The Midst Of Persecution lyrics

I call on you, oh God, For you will answer me Give ear to me and hear my prayer Keep me as the apple of your eye Hide me in the shadow of your wings From the wicked who a**ail me From my mortal enemies who surround me They close up their callous hearts And their mouth speaks with arrogance They are like a lion hungry for prey Like a great lion crouching in cover Their throats are open graves Their tongues practise deceit The poison of vipers is on their lips Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness Give me a sign of your goodness That my enemies may see it and be put to shame Let them be caught in their pride For the curses and lies they utter The way of peace they do not know There is no fear of God before their eyes O Lord, by your hand save me from such men Of this world whose reward is in this life They are like a lion hungry for prey Like a great lion crouching in cover Their throats are open graves Their tongues practise deceit The poison of vipers is on their lips Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness But I - in righteousness I shall see your face When I awake, I shall be satisfied with seeing your likeness Their throats are open graves Their tongues practise deceit The poison of vipers is on their lips Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness
