Lamentation 1 (Where Are You, God?) Lyrics

Like a string sobs are pulled out me

I can't raise my head; it's too heavy

I try to pray through the anger

It's like trying to sing when you're drowning

Where are you, God?

Where are you, God?

You've allowed all these cruel things -

Do you hear me? This is torture

If it's random are you in control?

If you planned it, how can you be good?

Where are you, God?

Where are you, God?

You called yourself "Immanuel"

You said that you had torn the veil

But most of what I've tasted here is not a God who's being near

My heart is too heavy to raise up to Heaven

So, please, if you're listening make yourself known to me
