In Deep Sorrow
Oh, unfeeling God
Am I ever permitted to know
why the one who was still so much needed
was the one who was chosen to go?
With all my soul I beg of you
turn not your ears from my plea.
Oh, unfeeling God
Why my deep pain do you not see?
Oh, unhearing God
You know that I would have given my all
if I could have kept my beloved
until I too, had answered your call.
I would gladly have carried the burden,
would have taken his illness and pain.
Oh, unhearing God
Why do you keep me pleading in vain?
Oh, far away God
Was Heaven’s need so much greater than ours?
If so please give me a sign Lord,
I have searched and I’ve searched in your stars.
I beseech you to love him as I did
So he will not feel so alone.
Oh, far away God
Do you not hear my sad moan?
Oh, forgiving God
Perhaps I loved him too much Lord,
in the way that I should have loved You.
If so I now give you my solemn word.
I did what I thought I should do.
I taught him to be good and true.
Oh, forgiving God,
Did I forget or neglect to thank you?
Oh, loving God
For my selfishness I vow to atone.
I’ll praise you each day for the blessing
of the child I forgot was on loan.
He was your own precious creation
whom you trustingly put in my care.
Oh, loving God
Will you comfort my pain hard to bear?
