[Verse 1]
D C G
Why has my God, my soul forsook, nor will a smile afford
D C G
Thus David once in anguish spoke and thus our dying Lord
D C G
Oh, it's your chief delight to dwell among your praising saints
D C
And yet your hear us groan as well and pity our complaints
[Verse 2]
D C G
Our fathers trusted in your name and great deliverance found
D C G
But he's a worm despised of men who trot him to the ground
D C
Men shake their heads and pass him by and laugh his soul to scorn
D C
"In vain he trusts in God," they cry, neglected and forlorn
[Verse 3]
D C G
But you are he who formed his flesh by your own mighty word
D C G
And since he hung upon the breast his hope was in the Lord
D C G
Why would his father hide his face when foes stand threatening 'round
D C
In his dark hour of deep distress and not a helper found
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Bm
Why, oh why, my God?
Em D Bm
Why, oh why, my God?
[Chorus]
G Bm
For the joy set before him he endured
G Bm
And is seated at the right hand of the throne
C D Bm Em
Well done, good and faithful, well done
C D C
well done, good and faithful one
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
D C G
Behold your dear one left alone with the cruel and the proud
D C G
As mighty bulls so fierce and strong, as lions roaring loud
D C G
For mirth and hell and sorrows meet to multiply the pain
D C G
They nail his hands, they pierce his feet and mock him yet again
[Verse 5]
D C G
Yet if your sovereign hand let loose a rage in earth and hell
D C G
Why would my Heavenly father bruise the son he loved so well?
D C G
He prayed in dark Gethsemane, "Withhold this bitter cup"
D C G
But he resigned his will to thee and drank the sorrows up
[Verse 6]
D G C G
Our savior cried with David's grief, "In groans I waste my breath
D C G
Thy hand has brought me down beneath the bitter dust of death"
D C G
And then he gave his spirit up to trust it in your hand
D C
His dying flesh reposed in hope, to rise at your command
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Bm
Why, oh why, my God?
Em D Bm
Why, oh why, my God?
[Chorus]
G Bm
For the joy set before him he endured
G Bm
And is seated at the right hand of the throne
C D Bm Em
Well done, good and faithful, well done
C D Bm Em
Well done, good and faithful, well done
C D C
Well done good and faithful one
