Distant Lyrics

God

Why are You so distant?

I don't feel Your presence, don't see You

No sign of appearance

Yea, You wake me up every day

But I'm waking up to stress and hurt

I obey You and they don't

So why does it feel like I'm cursed?

Why is my life so hard?

Why do I face so many tribulations?

People saying false things about me

Why won't You just get me out this situation?

It seems as if You've boxed me in

And I'm stuck with nowhere to go

I'm tired of fighting against the current

Right about now I'm good if I just float

Taking blow after blow

Constantly getting kicked in the face

Will You please just answer me?

I have done nothing wrong

Those people who I was there for

They ain't here for me

And it seems like You did the same

Just left me to fight this battle independently

Being told to pray and repent

Cause it must be something that I've done

Why won't you relent?

You're the Almighty

And the Perfect Judge

Judge my case, prove my innocence

Better yet, just remove me from this earth

Why was I even born, I'd rather just be back in the dirt

So many dark and cloudy days

Every day it seems to rain

And I'm supposed to be comforted by these Christians who don't know Your word so they Just burden me with empty sayings

My soul is tired, my mind is clouded

Physically I'm exhausted

And with negativity, I'm surrounded

This is not what I expected my life to be

Not at all what I envisioned

God please just tell me why are You so distant?

My child

I've never left your side, you lost hope in Me and that's why you're in doubt

I've been right here with you the whole time

But you've allowed your circumstances to redirect your sight

I don't care what others say

See I know what you're thinking

I said I would never leave you nor forsake you

And I don't lie so who's really the one that's distant?

Before you fix your mouth to question Me

You better think about your decision

I gave you life and I determine what happens within it

So it doesn't matter what you envisioned

My thoughts are not your thoughts

My ways are not your ways

My ways are higher than yours

And I chose you, so why would I just throw you away?

Where were you when I laid the earths foundations?

Tell Me if you have understanding

Who determined its measurements?

Surely you know, or who stretched the line upon it?

To what were its foundations fastened?

Or who laid its cornerstone

When the morning stars sang together

And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water

Or a path for the thunderbolt

To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one?

Who has put wisdom in the mind

Or who has given understanding to the heart

Who can number the clouds by wisdom

Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven when the dust hardens in clumps?

Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young

Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?

Can you number the months that they fulfill

Or do you know the time when they bear young?

Have you given the horse strength

Have you clothed his neck with thunder?

Can you frighten him like a locust

His majestic snorting strikes terror

He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength

He gallops into the clash of arms

He mocks at fear and is not frightened

Nor does he turn back from the sword

Does the hawk fly by your wisdom

And spread its wings toward the south?

Does the eagle mount up at your command

And make its nest on high?

Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?

He who rebukes God, let him answer it

Would you indeed annul My judgement

Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?

Have you an arm like God?

Are you as eternal, great, powerful, wise and perfect as I AM that I AM?
The Lord who Can answer out of the whirlwind?

I see what you're going through and yeah I can heal you

But first I need to bring you to a right understanding of Myself?

So don't you dare question My loyalty

When every other day you're putting Me on the shelf
