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?"
