🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 22:1–31)

Verse 1 (Psalm 22:1–2)

My God, my God, why have You gone?

I cry by day — no answer comes.

By night I call, no rest I find,

Yet still You reign, the Holy One.

Verse 2 (Psalm 22:6–8)

Scorned and mocked by those around,

They shake their heads, they taunt me down:

“Let the Lord rescue him,” they say —

But You, O God, are not far away.

Chorus (Psalm 22:9–11,19–21)

You brought me forth from my mother’s womb,

Be not far — trouble fills the room.

Come quickly, Lord, come rescue me,

My Strength, my Savior, hear my plea.

Verse 3 (Psalm 22:14–18)

Poured out like water, bones all out of place,

My heart melts within me — no strength, no grace.

They pierced my hands, divided my clothes —

Surrounded by foes, but still I know…

Bridge (Psalm 22:22–24)

I will declare Your name again,

Among the saints, I’ll praise — Amen!

You do not hide from pain or cries —

You hear the broken when they sigh.

Final Chorus (Psalm 22:27–28,31)

All nations will remember You,

The ends of earth will turn to Truth.

He has done it! We proclaim:

The Risen One — forever reigns!
