Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

[Chorus]
Dm Gm Dm Gm7 F Am7 Gm7 Dm
My God, my God, why have you a – bandoned me?

[Verse 1]
Dm Am
All who see me scoff at me;
Gm/Bb A
They mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads:
Dm Am
“He relied on the Lord, let him deliver him,
Gm/Bb A
Let him rescue him, if he loves him.”

[Verse 2]
Dm Am
Indeed, many dogs surround me,
Gm/Bb A
A pack of evildoers closes in upon me;
Dm Am
They have pierced my hands and my feet;
Gm/Bb A
I can count all my bones.

[Verse 3]
Dm Am
They divide my garments among them,
Gm/Bb A
And for my vesture they cast lots.
Dm Am
But you, O Lord, be not far from me;
Gm/Bb A
O my help, hasten to aid me.

[Verse 4]
Dm Am
I will proclaim your name to my brethren;
Gm/Bb A
In the midst of the assembly I will praise you:
Dm Am
“You who fear the Lord, praise him;
Gm/Bb A
All you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him;
Dm Am
Revere him,
Gm/Bb A
All you descendants of Israel!”
