(Lamentation 1) Where Are You God?

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

Like a string
sobs are pulled out me.
I can’t raise my head
it’s too heavy.
I try to pray through the anger;
it's like trying to sing when you’re drowning.

Where are you, God?
Where are you, God?

You’ve allowed all these cruel things -
Do you hear me?
This is torture.
If it's random are you in control?
If you planned it
how can you be good?

Where are you, God?
Where are you, God?

You called yourself "Immanuel".
You said that you had torn the veil.
But most of what I’ve tasted here
is not a God who’s being near.

My heart is too heavy to raise up to Heaven.
So, please, if you’re listening,
make yourself known to me.
