Ooh
I am praying the same prayer
That Jeremiah prayed
I have the same lamentations of Jeremiah
Hear my prayer, oh Lord, hear my cry!
Avenge me speedily
I have the same lamentations
Of the prophet Jeremiah, ooh
Mmm
Lamentations of Jeremiah, the prophet of the Lord
Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD
And all their imaginations against me;
The lips of those that rose up against me,
And their device against me all the day, ay
Behold their sitting down, and their rising up;
I am their musick.
Render unto them a recompence, O LORD,
According to the work of their hands.
Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
Persecute and destroy them in anger
from under the heavens
For what their hands have done
Put a veil over their hearts
May your curse be upon them
Pursue them in anger from the heavens
I am praying the same prayer
That Jeremiah prayed
I have the same lamentations of Jeremiah
Hear my prayer, oh Lord, hear my cry!
Avenge me speedily
I have the same lamentations
Of the prophet Jeremiah, ooh
Lamentations of Jeremiah, the prophet of the Lord
You Lord, took up my case
You redeemed my life
Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me!
Uphold my cause.
Lord you have seen the depth of their vengeance
And all their plots against me
Oh, oooh
Lord you have heard their insults
All their plots against me
While my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long
Look at them sitting or standing
They mock me in their songs
Pay them back what they deserve, oh Lord
For what their hands have done
Put a veil over their hearts
May your curse be upon them
Pursue them in anger from the heavens
I am praying the same prayer
That Jeremiah prayed
I have the same lamentations of Jeremiah
Hear my prayer, oh Lord, hear my cry!
Avenge me speedily
I have the same lamentations
Of the prophet Jeremiah, ooh
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
And that which hath been done is that which shall be done:
There is no new thing under the sun whereby it may be said,
See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, yeah
I am praying the same prayer
That Jeremiah prayed
I have the same lamentations of Jeremiah
Hear my prayer, oh Lord, hear my cry!
Avenge me speedily
I have the same lamentations
Of the prophet Jeremiah, ooh
Lamentations of the Prophet, ooh
Lamentations of Jeremiah, ooh
Lamentations of the Prophet, ooh
