lyrics

Sinking
Words and Music by Dawn Xiana Moon

O mon Dieu, sauve-moi
J'ai de l'eau jusqu'au cou
Dans la boue je m'enlise
Sans point d'appui me voici
Descendu au plus profond des eaux

Save me, O God
For the waters have come up to my neck
I sink in the miry depths
And the floods engulf me

Je m'épuise à crier
Mon gosier est brûlant,
Mes yeux se sont usés
A t'attendre mon Dieu

I am worn out, calling for help
My throat is parched
My eyes fail, looking for my God
Rescue me

Rescue me
Do not let me sink
Tire-moi de la boue
Ne m'engloutisse pas
Que le gouffre béant
Ne me dévore pas

Answer me
Out of the goodness of your love
Réponds-moi, Eternel
Ton amour est si bon
Dans ta grande tendresse
Occupe-toi de moi

(Based on Psalm 69)
