Light and Truth Blues - Inspired by Psalm 43

** Psalm 43 is a heartfelt plea written by an unknown psalmist, though it is often associated with the same author as Psalm 42, traditionally believed to be the sons of Korah or even David himself. This psalm reflects the raw emotions of someone facing oppression, deceit, and feelings of abandonment. It’s a cry for vindication, justice, and restoration, combined with an unshakable hope in God's deliverance.

The psalmist paints a vivid picture of a soul longing for God’s light and truth to guide them back into His presence. It’s a timeless reminder that even in despair, we can place our trust in God, our Savior, and our ultimate source of joy.

This blues song captures the depth of the psalmist’s emotions and weaves them into a soulful reflection, amplifying the cry for justice and hope in the Lord.

** Original Text: Psalm 43 (WEB)
1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.
Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me.
Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy.
I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

** Lyrics: "Light and Truth Blues"

(Verse 1)
Vindicate me, Lord, plead my case tonight,
Against the wicked, against their fight.
I’m surrounded by deceit, and their lies run deep,
Oh, deliver me, Lord, my soul can’t sleep.

(Chorus)
Send out Your light, send out Your truth,
Let them lead me back to You.
To Your holy hill, to Your altar of grace,
Where I’ll find my joy in Your embrace.

(Verse 2)
You’re my strength, my God, why do I feel alone?
Why do I go mourning, like I’ve been disowned?
The enemy’s voice is loud, their chains are tight,
But I know Your truth will shatter the night.

(Chorus)
Send out Your light, send out Your truth,
Let them guide me, show me what’s true.
To Your sacred hill, where my soul can sing,
To the altar of God, my everything.

(Bridge)
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
Why so disturbed when God’s in control?
Hope in God; I’ll praise Him still,
He’s my Savior, my God, my will.
(“Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
My salvation and my God.” - Psalm 43:5)

(Verse 3)
I’ll take my harp, Lord, and play You a song,
Even in the dark, Your joy is strong.
My tears are heavy, but Your love is light,
Your truth will guide me through the night.

(Outro)
Send out Your light, send out Your truth,
Lead me, Lord, I’m trusting You.
To Your holy hill, where peace won’t cease,
To the altar of God, where I’ll find my peace.
