Forsaken

Behind the Song When Jesus was being executed on the cross, he cried out to God, as so many innocent victims of violence and hate and exclusion have cried out, and continue to cry out still - "Why have you forsaken me?" There are no easy answers here, just the hope that God is with us, "crying with us, dying with us, praying with us, holding us too." The Lyrics Why have you forsaken us? Where have you gone? Why have you forsaken us? How can we go on? Verse 1There’s a woman who has lost her child And a man who’s lost his way. There’s a boy who’s keeping it inside And a girl who cannot pray. ChorusWhy have you forsaken us? Where have you gone? Why have you forsaken us? How can we go on? We search for your face Search for your grace We want to follow your way Why have you forsaken us Where have you gone? Verse 2There’s a man who says he cannot breathe And another with a gun There’s a family that’s left everything Just exiles on the run ChorusBridge There’s a man forsaken on a cross, body broken in two There’s a God hanging on a cross, who feels it all too Crying with us, dying with us. Praying with us. Holding us too. Chorus Available Resources  MP3 Download $0.99 Lyric/Chord Chart  $1.99 Lead Sheet $3.99 Piano Score $5.99 Purchase the lyric video HERE.
