Where are you lord?

by Jermaine Banks - Cancer

Where are you Lord?

I’m out from 5 in the morning to 5 at night
Struggling to live by God and survive a normal life
I get confused at times and wish I had some oversight
Praying for the same things all the time has become a fight
Giving up church has crossed my mind once or twice
Lord don’t you see the tiredness, tears and hurt upon my face
Well, Lord if you love me
Why do you allow me to be in this place?
I‘m confused, scared and now jobless
I’m at my all time low, where are you Lord and when will you show?
I got a family and we can’t eat no bible verse
It’s too much to swallow, when I try its hurts
I can’t wash this away, I tried tons of soap
My faith is dying and I already lost hope
I feel all alone and the only one left standing
Like I was brought way out here and left abandoned
I thought you would come if things got this bad
Where are you Lord and where is the love I thought you had?
Talk to me Lord I’m tired of doing all the talking
Come find me Lord, it feels like I was doing all the stalking.

Hush my child, your right you have done too much talking
I told you where to run and you were too busy walking
You felt abandoned and missing, probably because you didn’t listen
I heard what you were saying and all it was is complaining
I was talking as I wiped your tears and all you did was cover your ears
I was there and that’s why you’re still here
So where am I?
Right where you left me, now it’s time to come home
Where I can give you my love and a godly hug.
