They Have Discarded Me (no. 1)
They have discarded me,
I weep before You night and day,
Please bend down and listen to my sobbing
for my life is riddled with troubles?
I weep before You night and day
and death is just around the corner
for my life is riddled with troubles.
Everyone sees my life ebbing out.
and death is just around the corner!
They’ve all left me here to die, helpless,
everyone sees my life ebbing out,
like one who is doomed for death.
They’ve all left me here to die, helpless,
they have discarded me
like one who is doomed for death,
please bend down and listen to my sobbing?
No One Wants Me (no. 1)
Why did you turn all my friends against me?
You’ve made me like a cursed man in their eyes.
No one wants to be with me now.
You’ve caught me in a trap with no way out.
You’ve made me like a cursed man in their eyes.
Every day I beg for your help.
You’ve caught me in a trap with no way out.
Can’t you see my tears?
Every day I beg for your help.
My eyes are swollen with weeping.
Can’t you see my tears?
My arms are wide, longing for mercy,
My eyes are swollen with weeping,
Why did you turn all my friends against me?
My arms are wide, longing for mercy,
No one wants to be with me now.
