Where Are You, God?

I was alone, alone in this world, a world full of Heartbreak. I was afraid, just a scared little girl, I'd taken all I could take. First one thing, then another Taking turns to wound my soul First comes love, so easy to love another… It was myself I didn't love anymore. Where are you God? Where have you been? Here I am on my knees once again. Where are you God? Where have you been? In a still, small voice I hear Him. A voice I don't hear with my ears… He says, “Oh, my child, I've always been right here.” Each time I was hurt, I turned my heart away. Still, God cried with me, though I did not pray. He stayed right by my side, With His arms open wide, But how could I see that with my face turned away? Where are you God? Where have you been? “I'm here, my child, on my knees with you again.” Where are you God? Where have you been? And in a still, small voice,he said, “Here I AM…I'm so glad that you finally hear…oh my beloved child, I've always been right here… …I was with you before the beginning of time. I was there when you took your first breath. I created your soul, yes you are mine. And I've walked with you or carried you each step.” Where are you God? “Here I am!” Where have you been? “Always with you my friend… just turn around and see. Just listen close for me…” “Where are you child, Where have you been? Because I've been here knocking but you must let me in…until then, I will wait right here. I'm counting every tear…until then,... I'll be here.”

A lovely piece Crystol. God is true to his words. He's always here with us. On days we don't see him or feel him. Days we don't trust him enough or even hear him. Great work.

Tysm Tonye...yes, He has always been faithful to me. At times when I've felt distance, I've realized I'm the one who turned away. Thanks for the read and comment! Xo

Yes always available for those who call on him in trueness and with humble heart. In addition, he never turns away a heart that is broken and crushed. Heartfelt poetry Crystol

Thank you Tom...I wrote this many years ago and found it in an old notebook. It was going to be a song. I have the melody still in my head but can't quite mesh with uke. Can you hear the way a duet would sound? The soprano singing, where are you God, and bass cuts in with HERE I AM!...ect <3 xo
