Forsaken

I think I'm gonna cry myself to sleep tonight
'Cause something in this world just ain't right
The children are starving, the people are calling
For something their eyes cannot see
I try to encourage them but they look at me
And say how can I believe?
In someone that loves them but won't even show them
His face when they've asked Him to
Where is this Savior and who is the maker
Who came and delivered you…

My God, my God
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
My God, my God
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?

I just wanna fix everything that's wrong
But what more am I doing but writing a song?
When babies have babies, they're babies
They're craving for something they think is true love
Maybe 'cause daddy he wasn't a daddy
'Cause his daddy left him alone
And people who hold so much power keep holding to power
They sit on their thrones
A cycle of strategy crafting a battle
That You already won

My God, my God
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
My God, my God
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?

Wars aren't ending
Poverty's building
Sickness rising
Secrets hiding
Why won't You
Do what You can do?
People are livid
They don't wanna live in
This world that You've called us
To be in and not of
I don't understand it
Is that what You call love
I know You sent Your son
To die for us all but
Feels like we're hitting
Wall after wall, after wall
So take all this courage
I'm using to cry out
And turn it around for
Your glory to shine out
Your name in the earth
No matter how long it will take
And take all this passion
I'm using to bash and
Take all these fads that
Are destined to crash
I know it seems dark
But I still believe in Hope
I know it seems dark
But I still believe in Hope, mm-mm

My God, my God
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
My God, my God
You will never leave me
You will never, You will never
My God, my God
You will never leave me
You will never leave me
Never, my love
Even when I can't see
You're working on something…
You're working on me
