Rewrote the bridge off something that came to my head while in bed... still probably some more revisions to do before I perform this in April.
Psalm
do You, oh Great One, hear our tears
as we cry out in the night?
or have the long years left Your ears
deaf to our plight?
'cause it seems like these days
God is gone, God is dead
forgive us for the times
we've worshipped other gods instead
do You, oh Great One, hear our prayers
see us sing out with our all?
or are You standing back
to see how fast and far we fall?
for we all have sinned,
our pride has built these walls
God, forgive us for the times
our faith is far too small
we will wait for the Lord
we will wait for the Lord
do You, oh Great One, know what's wrong
see how justice is denied?
do You see how our children die
far too soon, without good-bye?
and if God is so good,
why does He allow
these things to happen to the ones
who fight to see Him here somehow?
we will wait for the Lord
we will wait for the Lord
we will wait for the Lord
we will wait for the Lord
could the answers ever satisfy
in the face of all I can't let by?
could we ever hope to comprehend
the meaning of "I Am"?
You're so much bigger than we'd like to see
much less comfortable than You could be
who am I to try and draw the lines?
You're so much more than I can define
I don't need to have the answers
I don't need to know it all
but will it be alright, will I be okay
if I don't know how to love You
today?
