My God, my God,
why have you abandoned me?
(Psalm 22:1; NLT).
Lord,
If you cease to speak
In prayer,
May I have faith
That you still care.
If you cease to speak
In pain,
May I accept
All you ordain.
If you cease to speak
In grief,
May I cling tight
To your belief;
And, if you cease to speak
In death,
May I hold fast
Till my last breath.
Into your hands
I commit my spirit
(Psalm 31:5; NIV).
