Silence

Where were you?
Father to the fatherless
Savior of the brokenness
Hear me in my bitterness
Where were You
When You heard me crying?
On the floor, writhing in pain
And calling Your name
And all the saints proclaim
We do it for the glory of Your name
Your silence is keeping me at odds with
Believing there’s a God who knows my name
And watches me in pain
Your distance keeps me in the dark
The Lord who says He knows my heart
Can’t You see my heart is breaking from where You are?
Who are You?
Shepherd to the lost
And such a great cost, You chose to bleed
And die for me
But where were You
When I was alone
No place to call home?
Your silence is keeping me at odds with
Believing there’s a God who knows my name
And watches me in pain
Your distance keeps me in the dark
The Lord who says He knows my heart
Can’t You see my heart is broken?
