God, are you there?
I heard of you when I was very young --
People talked about your greatness, majesty and glory -- about the Bible and the Redemption story
I feel so unloved and truly alone.
I hear voices of death calling, "come to me, come on."
In my heart I know that I should resist and not listen, I don’t belong to him, I don’t belong there.
I feel so lost. Do I belong anywhere?
God, are you listening? Oh God, are you there?
What about those nights I drowned my pillow with tears?
Through all the abuse, for all those years?
I hear the voices calling again, beckoning me and calling my name.
I want to believe you are there, I want to believe with all my heart.
People tell me not to give up, for you won't let me fall.
They say you will change my life and give me a new start if just reach out to you and call your name.
So I'm taking that step, I'm taking a chance, God...
