God I’m calling out to you from the darkness where I hide
But I’m not speaking of Your glories, I’m simply asking “Why?”
I’ve been begging for a miracle or at least for a reprieve
These pressures keep on mounting I need a reason to believe
So why haven’t you answered when I’ve been praying for so long
Haven’t I been patient? Am I being punished? Did I do something wrong?
Maybe I wasn’t loud enough and you just didn’t hear?
I’ll just scream it HEY LOOK I’M WAITING I’M STANDING RIGHT HERE!
Lord i keep falling I’m headed straight down
It would be nice if you’d catch me or at least come around
I feel helpless and hopeless so weak I can’t even stand
God if you’re not too busy could you lend me a hand?
You said you wanted to bless me, said you meant me no harm
So why God won’t you answer did you hit snooze on your alarm
Last time I prayed , pleaded and begged every night I came to you
Things finally worked out, I got lucky, not thanks to you
My friends came through and helped me out of a tight spot
So now I’m just wondering are you listening or not?
They say you always answer but the answer may be no
But you can see how bad I want this, I mean I need this, so desperate I could explode
If you are trying to teach me something I’ll learn it later somehow
But I don’t have time for this I just need this right now
In fact really I needed this long before that’s why I prayed last week
Obviously you know this, I only come when times are bleak
With darkness closing in I still feel all alone
Nothing left to comfort me but these games on my phone
Maybe you don’t love me maybe you don’t care
In fact maybe you’re a phantom and I’m just talking to air.
Forget it I can do this I’ve always gotten myself through
Like that one time that I… But … that wasn’t me, That was You!
Wait! What am I saying? How can I doubt
You’ve given so much to me, always given me an out
I know I’ve heard you before, You spoke right to my soul
So where is this going? What’s the end goal?
What was I doing different when I heard you in the past
Is my life too busy now am I moving too fast
Wipe the dust off my Bible I can’t believe it’s been so long
When it’s you that gave me wisdom courage…you made me strong
I open up Your word searching for some hope
The first thing that I come across says “Be Still and Know”
Ok God I’m listening Please tell me something, show me the truth
“I have never left, I’m right here with you”
