[Lament I] The deep closed over and weed bound my head, The roots of the mountains received me as dead. Bars of the earth seemed to lock without end, Yet out of corruption my life rose again. [Refrain] Out of the belly of hell I cried, The waves passed over, but my prayer did not die. [Lament II] When my soul fainted I remembered the LORD, My voice crossed the darkness toward the temple. They that hold lying vanities forsake mercy, I will pay what I vowed with thanksgiving. [Hope Turn] Salvation is of the LORD, not the ship, not the sea, Not strength in the body or distance from thee. The appointed fish heard the word and released me, Dry ground under knees like a life given back. [Final Chorus] Out of the belly of hell I cried, The waves passed over, but my prayer did not die. The appointed fish heard the word and released me, Dry ground under knees like a life given back.
