Misc Praise Songs – Psalm 77 (Guitar)

  C      G       Am      G
I cried aloud to God for help;

Am            G         C
I prayed that God would hear.

     C     G          Am   F  C
When I was plunged in deep distress,

Am           G       C
I sought the Lord in prayer.

   C       G           Am     G
At night I stretched untiring hands,

  Am      G      C
Relief my soul refused.

  C         G      Am   F C
Rememb’ring you, O God, I groaned

     Am      G    C
With longing as I mused.

   C     G       Am        G
In my distress I could not speak;

     Am        G       C
From sleep you kept my eye.

  C        G        Am F   C
I thought about the former days,

    Am          G         C
The years which have gone by.

       C       G       Am     G
Throughout the watches of the night

   Am      G         C
My songs I called to mind.

  C        G       Am    F  C
I pondered deeply, while my heart

   Am     G        C
An answer tried to find:

     C    G        Am     G
“For ever will the Lord reject

    Am    G        C
And never show his grace?

    C      G         Am   F    C
Has he withdrawn his steadfast love

    Am          G      C
And turned from me His face?

     C        G       Am      G
“For all time has his promise failed?

   Am     G      C
Is God no longer kind?

    C         G     Am    F  C
Has he in his great wrath dismissed

   Am      G        C
Compassion from his mind?”

     C     G           Am        G
Then to my heart there came this thought:

    Am     G      C
“On this I will rely—

    C        G         Am   F  C
The years of the right hand of power

   Am      G       C
Of him who is Most High.”

  C      G        Am           G
I will recall the LORD’s great deeds—

     Am       G     C
your works of long ago.

     C   G       Am  F    C
I’ll meditate on all your acts;

     Am     G          C
your mighty deeds I’ll show.

  C         G    Am       G
O God, most holy are your ways.

     Am     G          C
What god compares with you?

    C       G      Am F C
You are the God of miracles,

      Am        G       C
whose power the nations view.
