In the distance comes the cry

Known by millions #

Over the years

With hearts filled with tears

“Why have you forsaken me?”

In the space of broken homes

The echoes resound

“Why have you forsaken me”

Victims of war

Innocent and shattered

Broken and battered

Their cry resounds

“Why have you forsaken me”

Those with not enough to eat

Or drink

While others feast

“Why have you forsaken me?”

Golgotha’s cry

Still resounds

You hear the sound

Reverberate

“Why have you forsaken me?”

Go to the hill

If you will

Offer the heart

Broken, bruised

Battered, ill-used

Scars both seen and unseen

And listening

You will hear

“I have never forgotten

Never forsaken

Never stopped loving

For love is who I am

And I am your Father, your brother

Your God”
