lyrics

in the day when i call, answer me quickly
my days are consumed like smoke
my bones are like glowing embers
like grass, my heart has withered away
i forget to eat my bread and now i'm only skin and bone
like an owl of the wasteland, at night i lie awake
i lie awake

i am a sparrow alone on a housetop

You hear the groaning prisoner

i eat ashes like it's bread
(You weaken my strength, You shorten my days)
and mix my drink with tears
my days are like a lengthened shadow, long and narrow
and i wither away like grass


the works of Your hands will perish
but You will remain
they will wear out like a garment
like clothing You will change them
and they will be changed
