Where Are You?

by Stephanie   Jul 21, 2010


Where are you, Lord?
How come you let so many injustices in the world?
I'm afraid, Lord,
For my home is my sanctuary,
And I refuse to step out
I'm afraid of what I might see,
And that it might happen to me,
Once more

How can you let this be?
Are you blind?
Perhaps it's me who can't see
For time again,
Betrayal came from a friend,
Whose only wish is to bring me down in the end
All I ever wanted was someone to hold,
Not having orders be given or told
Someone to call to on the phone,
Even when no one is home
Someone who is always around
And who can always turn my smile upside down
Someone to make me feel beautiful again

I know this is too much to ask for, Lord
And all these tears are getting old
So I have only one question to ask,
Where are you?

Are you in the rain?
If you are really in the rain,
Then maybe that's the reason why it's so dry here
Not a drop has fell upon my Earth since you left
The only water here is in my eyes
Gray and low are my skies
And my fragile flowers are withered and dry

Are you in the sun?
Looking down on all the fun,
Or looking down in despair at what you done
Regretting,
Thinking that creating man was a mistake,
Cause all they do is sin

Or are you waiting?
Seeing all the mistakes I've made
And hoping that I'll make it right
Sorry that I've disappointed you,
And that I'm not strong enough
People say that strength lies in numbers,
But lately I'm the alphabet

Where are you, Lord?
Especially when I need you,
Where are you when I'm in pain?
And when depression chokes me so bad,
That I start to wish I was dead
Where are you?
When I pray these words that are left unsaid,
Only to you
I call to you,
But you don't answer the call

Perhaps you are sleeping,
But hear my plea,
Lord, wake up please...
