God, have you forgotten me forever?
Do I even matter to you?
Why are you so hard to find?
How long will I argue with myself about you,
this dark pit in my heart all day long?
How long will this dark adversary
loom over me?
Give me an answer, God—any answer.
Let there be light in my eyes,
not this sleep, this death.
I can hear my adversary now: ” I win.”
I can see them gloat over my lifeless soul.
But I trust your kindness like the earth itself.
You rescue me, and I rejoice.
I will sing to you, Beloved,
because you always so lovingly pick me up.
