Lyrics:
When, O God, our faith is tested
and our hope is undermined,
when our love of living shrivels,
and we feel bereft and drained,
then we turn to you and cry
for your answer to our ‘why?’
With emotions taut to breaking,
hearts with hurt and havoc frayed,
reason by remorse diminished,
souls distraught as if betrayed.
God of bleakness and abyss,
why have you forsaken us?
As we question and accuse you
out of depths of being tried,
could it be, God! that in weakness
you yourself are crucified?
Are you with us in our grief?
Help us in our unbelief!
