My life has had so much pain and toil.
How I wish long ago I had been planted in the soil. Why couldn't life have been without so much pain?
Lord, will there ever be a touch from You again?
I wish the door would have been left ajar.
But from me You have stayed afar. Do You enjoy staying so far away?
Won't You answer my question, now; today?
If I had only died long ago.
Then all this suffering I would not know.
Did I ever quit when there was a battle to fight?
Then why am I left alone to face the night?
I have wondered, Lord where did You go?
I wish I knew the reason; I would like to know.
If only You would come to me and speak.
I could understand why things are so dark and bleak.
Lord, are You ever going to return?
Will these words, "Where are You?" in my mind forever burn?
Why did everything turn out this way?
Won't You come and make it a brighter day?
I can't imagine You forever forsaking me.
I know Your love and how kind and tender You can be.
Lord, I know I was wrong in what I thought. Because I know in Your word what is taught.
You were never alone for an hour.
Each day to overcome I gave you the power.
Others have been watching to see what you would do.
Your battles you won, I was always with you.
