Forsaken – 2 – v4


knowing these ancient words
these words of prayer in part
the whole psalm, the promise
yet we speak with Christ
the petition of the psalmist

why have you forsaken me
my Father, my God
why do you let them hurt me
my enemies, in the night

how can You let them get away
with their crimes, their sin
I call to You desperate
yet I don’t hear from You

I long for Your presence
to be palpable to me
knowing these ancient words
to know You are beside me
whatever will be
