Ben-Oni Lyrics

The Lord gives and he takes

And my heart breaks

And it sings

A gift of Gods grace

He says "fall on your face

Worship me"

Yet how can I see him

Much less to believe him

Or hope?

I finally breathe

A sigh of relief

Just to choke

For he poured out the cup

And my worlds swallowed up

With the grief

Resentment sat down

And gave me a crown

And cried out "long live the king!"

God, where've you gone?

I ain't seen you for days

Left all alone

To transgress in my ways

God, float away

For thousands of years

Watch the world drown

In her sweat and her tears

She's crying out

And gasping for breath

"Ben-oni, Ben-oni, Ben-oni

God, where've you been?"

"Ben-oni, Ben-oni

God, where've you been?"

Where is my hope

Blindly I grope

At the space in between

How little I'm worth

Just a pile of dirt

And you're such a heavenly thing

I shouldn't complain

For you send the rain

Yet I just wanted some bread

To touch and to taste

A gentle embrace

On the breast just to rest my head

God, where've you gone?

I ain't seen you for days

Left all alone

To transgress in my ways

God, float away

For thousands of years

Watch the world drown

In her blood and her tears

The foot to the head

The right to the left

The joy of the sorrow

The birth of the death

She's crying out

And gasping for breath

"Ben-oni, Ben-oni, Ben-oni

God, where've you been?"

"Ben-oni, Ben-oni

God, where've you been?"

When I've lost it all

What's left but to stand tall

And look around

Yet if I could but believe

All I had was received

I've nothing to worry about

Here it is

The rock in my palm

It may just be wind

For it's dust when I'm gone

It may just be wind

For it's dust when I'm gone

It may just be wind

For it's dust when I'm gone
