Into your hands we commend our spirits oh Lord
Into your hands we commend our hearts
For we must die to ourselves in loving You
Into your hands we commend our love
Oh God my God, why have You gone from me
Far from my prayers, far from my cry?
To you I call, but You never answer me
You send no comfort and I don't know why
Our fathers trusted and You delivered them
To You they cry, and they escaped
In You they trusted when darkness came their way
And in Your goodness You made them free
You've been my guide since I was very young
You showed the way when I needed someone's hand
But now I am lonely, nobody is by my side
Stay near me Lord, and be my friend
