lyrics

Where were you to prevent this one's pain?
Was her life all in vain, O God?
You, who heal, who make the broken feel
No more sorrow, shame, or fear,
Where were you? Where were you?

Weep my eyes, my soul sinks in my bed.
Why are the innocent dead, O God?
Lies prevail. Deceit assails me.
Where is the justice on this land?

I will wait, I will wait.
I will wait, my soul will wait.
I will wait, my soul will
Wait my soul within me.

How many days must I wait on this land?
Take me home, take my hand to glory.
Why do you wait? Is your arm too short to save?
Why did you take when you gave?

You are the first, you are the last.
Judge us O judge when you come back.
Your ways are high, higher than mine
How you will make this weeping world shine.
Grant us salvation. Lord come quickly.

You were there. You wept our tears and took the shame.
You claimed the murder, hate, and named us your own.
Weep, my God weeps.
He dies our deaths to mend the peace.
In him, death will cease.
