Where Are You Lord? - A Modern Psalm of Anguish and Relief
by shaun
or in the spine of this old book? Did you assert yourself in my brain or leave me with confusion and despair in my head! Why do you hide my Lord? Surely a glorious entry into sunshine would befit a king In the kingdom of mankind! And in your silence To my questions Are you to my troubles deaf? What happens to my prayer Lord? Does it, like some of your seed Fall on stony ground? Are you as callous as some say? Do you terrorise Into submission. Will I dance An unnatural tune, with the dead? (And this is what the Lord says) Where are you my son? Here I am Lord. Go down to the water And pour a libation over yourself. Then dress yourself in your best clothes. Behave suitably and show A.n.other you care for their time, their trouble. Be in the world what you would, if you could Choose in ecstacy. My perfect friend. Be ware of the sick, the lame...and Go out and lead By your most fervent faith Lead gentle light Be glad for the chance, The inspiration ~ lucky to serve And when you can say this is all to you. This life a charm to you, Kindness disarming you; Love and forgiveness; Strength everlasting Will reach you and flow from you Into the streams of the know. I am your God, You are my child, And I love you. Shaun |
