My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

My God, my God why have you forsaken me? 

 

Lord with your hands 

You created me 

Placed love in my soul 

And beauty in my heart 

I come to you today 

Shattered into a million pieces 

Filled with fear and pain 

Where is the road back to you? 

I wait for your voice to guide me 

And find only silence in answer 

To my cry for help 

My Lord my Lord why have you abandoned me 

In my hour of need 

The darkness grows around me 

Even the stars hide their faces 

Are you there Lord? 

Can you hear me? 

I am a small part of your universe 

Did you forget me? 

The wind rises 

Here I am a voice whispers 

Here I am 

I turn and see him 

A man sitting on a park bench 

Smiling as if he knows a secret 

I have heard your cry he tells me 

Here I am, what can I do for you? 

On that night when all seemed lost 

I sat on a park bench with the Lord 

Creator of the universe 

And knew I was someone’s beloved 

He came to me as a smiling man 

To tell me I was his treasured child 

All was as it should be 

All would be well
