Don't let go of me,
lest I be swallowed up by the waves.
Don't be silent to me,
lest I be among those who go down to the grave.
Don't take Your eyes off of me,
lest I waste away from grief.
From Your care, O Lord, grant me no release.
Lest I, from fear's grip,
find no peace.
Be not far away from me, dear Lord,
lest my soul never find healing,
and be forever scarred.
Don't let go of me.
O, speak to me, God.
Speak to me.
For my very life hangs upon Your Word.
Be not silent.
Be not silent.
Lest my soul within me perish from a slow death.
Be not far from me, dear Lord.
