Forsaken
Forsaken, he was spat upon
Pharisees set him up
enemies sold him down the river
his own half-brothers did not trust Him
best friends fell asleep when
he asked them to watch and pray
Forsaken, I am not shaken
when I'm mocked, I turn away to pray
people ignore my questions
and neighbors turn their heads.
Remembering the prophet Samuel
and the words God told him,
"Listen to all that the people are saying to you;
it is not you they have rejected,
but they have rejected me as their king."
