[K. Bachman, J. Daub, D. Baddorf, H. Kraft]

When evil men advance to devour my flesh

When enemies attack, their will to oppress
When bloody wars break loose and armies draw near
In the day of distress my heart will not fear


PAIN, MENTAL torment
SAVED from DEATH


Trapped in mental pain, agony within
Life consumed by anguish, endurance wearing thin

Tormented by misery, struggling to stand
Growing weak with sorrow, my grief is in your hands


Struck down but not destroyed, you lift me from the depths
You brought me from the grave, redemption from death
Hard pressed on every side but not in despair

Never on my own, your presence everywhere

[Psalms 30, 31; 2 Corinthians 4:8]
