my soul cries out in anguish
my heart is filled with pain
my world is a little more gray
I’ll never be the same
my God, my God, are You there?
I feel so all alone
the valley of the shadow of death
is now the place I roam
my eyes are full of sadness
my face is wet with tears
I reach out desperate for Your touch
and wonder if You’re near
sorrow is my shadow
sometimes hidden, always there
living life without my son
is a crushing burden to bear
sometimes I’m so overwhelmed
I forget to even breathe
I will never understand
why he had to leave
I still choose to trust You
but I’m weary, worn and spent
Father God, please carry me
through this time of deep lament
