A Cry Of Desperation

⁹ My eye has wasted away because of affliction;
I have called upon You every day, O Lord;
I have spread out my hands to You.
¹⁰ Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.
¹¹ Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

Give Thanks

Dead Rise
