Psalm 13 (How Long O Lord)

Before you get it wrong, I am not getting over-melocholic here.
When I initially heard this song, I was thinking - Hmm.. this song does sound a little sad with the type of melocholic music and lyrics.. But why am I so drawn to it?
Call me slow.. But AFTER only 2 weeks, I realized that the essence of this song is not just asking God "God, where are you?" or "God, are you here with me?".
Rather, it's a psalm of David in his distress crying out to God. After his cries, he decided that the best way to the problem is to trust in the Lord, to trust in His unfailing love, to rejoice!

Yes.. After 2 weeks, I am still drawn to this song. Hee...

(Anja Lehmann:)
How long, o Lord, will You forget me
How long, o Lord, will You look the other way?
How long, o Lord?

(Brian Doerksen:)
How long, o Lord, will You forget me
How long, o Lord, will You look the other way?
How long, o Lord, must I wrestle with my thoughts
And everyday have such sorrow in my heart?

Chorus
Look on me and answer,
o God my Father.
Bring light to my darkness
before they see me fall
(O Lord)

(Anja Lehmann:)
How long, o Lord, will You forget me
How long, o Lord, will You look the other way?
How long, o Lord, must I wrestle with my thoughts
And everyday have such sorrow in my heart?

Chorus
Look on me and answer,
o God my Father.
Bring light to my darkness
before they see me fall

Bridge
But I trust in Your unfailing love.
Yes, my heart will rejoice.
Still I sing of Your unfailing love.
You have been good,
and You will be good to me

[solo]

Chorus
Look on me and answer,
o God my Father.
Bring light in my darkness
before they see me fall
Look on me and answer,
o God my Father.
Bring light in my darkness
before they see me fall

Reprise
But I trust in Your unfailing love.
Yes, my heart will rejoice.
Still I sing of Your unfailing love.
You have been good.
But I trust in Your unfailing love.
Yes, my heart will rejoice.
Still I sing of Your unfailing love.
You have been good.
You will be good to me
