You Did Not Hide

A song of honest lament and unexpected praise for those who feel abandoned by God — drawn from the raw cry and turn of Psalm 22

Based on Psalm 22:24 · Lament / Contemporary Worship

▶ Listen in English

Verse 1:

My God, my God, why so far away?

I pour out my heart but You seem delayed

I'm wasting away in the weight of this grief

Cried through the night but found no relief


Chorus:

But You did not hide, You did not despise

The cry of the one crushed under the night

You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed

You were near to me even when I thought You had fled

You did not hide


Verse 2:

Our fathers called out and You answered them then

They trusted Your name and were not put to shame

So here in my darkness I'm calling again

I know You are holy — You're still the same


Chorus:

But You did not hide, You did not despise

The cry of the one crushed under the night

You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed

You were near to me even when I thought You had fled

You did not hide


Bridge:

From the depths I will praise You

From the pit I will sing

When my strength fails completely

You are still everything

You deliver the broken

You rescue the lost

You have never abandoned

The ones who trust in You most


Chorus:

You did not hide, You did not despise

The cry of the one crushed under the night

You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed

You were near to me even when I thought You had fled

You did not hide

You did not hide


You Did Not Hide

Verso 1:

Dios mío, ¿por qué estás tan lejos?

Derramo mi corazón pero no hay respuesta

Me consumo bajo el peso de este dolor

He llorado toda la noche sin encontrar consuelo


Coro:

Pero Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste

El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche

Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé

Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido

Tú no te escondiste


Verso 2:

Nuestros padres clamaron y Tú les respondiste

Confiaron en Tu nombre y no fueron avergonzados

Aquí en mi oscuridad, vuelvo a llamarte a Ti

Sé que eres santo — sigues siendo el mismo


Coro:

Pero Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste

El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche

Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé

Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido

Tú no te escondiste


Puente:

Desde las profundidades te alabaré

Desde el abismo cantaré

Cuando mis fuerzas fallan del todo

Tú sigues siendo todo para mí

Tú liberas al quebrantado

Rescatas al perdido

Jamás has abandonado

A los que en Ti han confiado


Coro:

Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste

El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche

Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé

Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido

Tú no te escondiste

Tú no te escondiste
