Well Done, Good And Faithful |
Why has my God, my soul forsook, nor will a smile afford |
Thus David once in anguish spoke and thus our dying Lord |
Oh it’s Your chief delight to dwell among Your praising saints |
And yet You hear us groan as well and pity our complaints |
Our fathers trusted in Your name and great deliverance found |
But He’s a worm despised of men who trod him to the ground |
Men shake their heads and pass Him by and laugh His soul to scorn |
‘In vain He trusts in God', they cry, neglected and forlorn |
But You are He who formed His flesh by Your own mighty word |
And since He hung upon the breast His hope was in the Lord |
Why would His father hide His face when foes stand threatening ‘round |
In His dark hour of deep distress and not a helper found |
Why, oh why, my God? |
Why, oh why, my God? |
For the joy set before Him He endured |
And is seated at the right hand of the Throne |
Well done, good and faithful, well done |
Well done, good and faithful One |
Behold Your dear One left along with the cruel and the proud |
As mighty bulls so fierce and strong, as lions roaring loud |
For mirth and hell and sorrows meet to multiply the pain |
They nail His hands, they pierce His feet and mock Him yet again |
Yet if Your sovereign hand let loose the rage of earth and hell |
Why would my Heavenly Father bruise the Son He loved so well? |
He prayed in dark Gethsemane, ‘Withhold this bitter cup' |
But He resigned His will to Thee and drank the sorrows up |
Our Savior cried with David’s grief, in groans I waste my breath |
Thy hand has brought me down beneath the bitter dust of death |
And then He gave His spirit up to trust it in Your hand |
His dying flesh reposed in hope, to rise at Your command |
Why, oh why, my God? |
Why, oh why, my God? |
For the joy before Him He endured |
And is seated at the right hand of the Throne |
Well done, good and faithful, well done |
Well done, good and faithful, well done |
Well done good and faithful One |
