Where Were You?

Where were You

when my world shattered

when I was being bashed, gashed,  beaten and nearly destroyed,

crying out Your name from a broken place? 

"I was beside you,

 weeping for your pain and 

rejoicing in the redemption 

I knew would be coming. 

You see, I can turn to good

what was meant for evil."

Where were You

when my life was falling apart

when just waking up was a struggle

and ends didn't meet?

"I was right behind you,

supporting you.

You didn't know I was there,

but without Me you wouldn't have made it."

Where were You

when I turned away

when I left you behind

in the name of fear 

in the name of pain

in the name of me?

"Beloved, I was on the cross."

And where are you now?

"Listening. Waiting. Where are you?"
