I'm a man who's seen affliction, at the hand of the Lord's wrath He's driven me out and made me walk in the darkness of my path He's made my skin and flesh grow old, and he's broken my bones I'm a man who cannot escape, the weight of my chains I cry for help he answers not, my prayerful pains He's made my skin and flesh grow old, and he's broken my bones I call from the depths of my pit, You hear my plea as I cry for relief Do not fear for the shadow of death, is no match for the flame my wrath begets
