we have ask You to leave our government
we have told You to get out of our schools
we have said You don't exist
in our pride we can be our own gods
and we walk around perplexed
at all the injustice
at all the hate
at all the sorrow
at all the death
we raise our fist perplexed
we have said Your words have no authority
we have mocked and laughed at Your name
we call on You to ridicule You
where are You God?
where is God?
and still we say we have no need of You Lord
yet we say leave us to our own devices
we have no need for God
and here we are perplexed
at all the violence
at all the crime
at all the fear
at all the hopelessness
we wring our hands perplexed
oh Heavenly Father help us
oh Lord help us
cause us to sorrow over our sin
cause us to repent and turn back to You
You our Creator
You our God
that You will hear our cry
that You will heal our land
Angel Barreto
