Forsaken

Forsaken Why did You forsake Him? Why did You turn away? What must one do To gain Your attention, O God of the Universe? How could You watch? He, Your beloved Son, In agony, hanging by a nail, And crying out to You, O God of Compassion. You could have removed All His pain, all suffering. But then, a “performance” Would never suffice O God of Forgiveness. You cleansed me of sin By this holy sacrificing Of the “Heart of Your heart” And Spirit of life, O God of my Love. Why did I forsake You? Why did I turn away? Whatever must You do To gain my attention, O God of the Cross?
