Where Are You Now?

Where are you now?

Is there something wrong with you?

Can’t you hear her desperate pleading?

Don’t you see what she’s going through?

They say that you’re a healer

Talk of miracles you do

Sometimes I start to wonder

If you’re the one who’s blind and deaf and mute

What is your problem?

Why do you make us wait?

If you’re the God who gives and takes

Can’t you take this pain away?

Have you forgotten

The promises you made?

Don’t know how long we could go on

If you turned your face away

How long? How long? How long?

Where are you now?

Is there something wrong with me?

Are you tired of my complaining?

And got a better place to be?

What is my problem?

How dare I presume

To have ear of one who made the earth and heavens too?

Have I forgotten

My meek and lowly place

You fashioned me from dust and watch as I turn to dust again

How long? How long? How long?

I’m so angry I could scream

Beat my fists and grind my teeth

But raging brings me no relief

Just adds more burden to her grief

Where are you now for heaven’s sake?

This bruised up reed’s about to break

Though my lips scream ‘get away’

My heart is begging ‘please God stay’

Where are we now?

Feel like we’re lovers in a fight

Though I reach across the table

I don’t dare to meet your eyes

I still believe that you’re a healer

That you’re gonna make it right

When I cannot feel your nearness

You weren’t the one who went to run and hide
