[Verse 1]
Save me, God, for the waters are up to my neck
Sinking mud, and I can't rise above the flood
I am weary, and my eyes grow dim
Save me, God, in the waiting

[Verse 2]
I’m outnumbered, more than hairs on my head (Mm-mm)
By the hate, by the power, by the lies my enemies said (Mm-Mm)
What'd I ever steal, still I must restore (Mm-mm)
Save me, God, from the hidden things that I know You know (Mm-mm)

[Chorus]
Oh, all this because
Zeal for Your house has consumed me
Zeal for Your house has consumed me

[Verse 3]
Don't let those who hope in You (Mm-mm)
Be disgraced because of what I do (Mm-mm)
Lord of Hosts, answer them in their plea (Mm-mm)
Save me, God; Lord, would You answer me? (Mm-mm)

[Chorus]
All this because
Zeal for Your house has consumed me
Zeal for Your house has consumed me
All I’ve endured
Shame on my face in my mourning
Shame on my face in my mourning
Still as for me, Lord
I pray for a time of Your favor
I pray, would You rescue me?
[Outro]
As for me, I am poor and in pain
Save me, God, by Your salvation
Still I'll praise Him with a song
That will please; please save me, God, save me, God
