[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

[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
