Lyrics
Forsaken From Matthew 27:46 Music – Andrea Davis-Griffin, Lyrics by Elmer Griffin & Andrea Davis-Griffin The ground rises up and it opens for me, The light rushes 'round in the sky, How will I find my way home in the dark? How will I be by your side? All I can hear is the noise of their jeering, All I can see is their hatred, All I can feel is the burden of this cross, What have I undertaken? Is the terror of these bitter days mine alone to drink? I'm lost to myself and my friends, Alone amidst my people, Thinking this is how it ends. I cannot find your face in the crowd, I cannot feel your love at all, Can you not hear when I cry out loud? Why am I God forsaken? Is my path so crooked? Have I strayed too often? Why are you so far away? Help me, hold me, lift me up, Catch me as I'm falling, My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me? © 2009 PrayerLifeMusic/ASCAP
