“Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you.” — v.22

“As for me, I will trust in You.” — v.23

🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 55:1–23)

Verse 1 (Psalm 55:1–5)

Give ear to my prayer, O Lord, don’t turn away,

My heart is in anguish, I groan as I pray.

Fear and trembling overwhelm,

Night and day, I cry for help.

Chorus (Psalm 55:22–23)

Cast your cares upon the Lord,

He will hold you evermore.

Though the storm may rage and spin,

I will trust in You again.

Verse 2 (Psalm 55:12–14)

If it were an enemy, I could bear the blow,

But it was my friend — one I used to know.

We walked in worship side by side,

But now I run and try to hide.

Bridge (Psalm 55:16–18)

Evening, morning, noon I cry,

You hear my voice, You don’t pass by.

You ransom me in peace and power,

You're near to me in darkest hour.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

Cast your cares upon the Lord,

He will hold you evermore.

From the pit, He lifts my soul,

Forever faithful, in control.
