Extol - Tears of Bitterness

Divine security, heartfelt certainty
   But my faith was soon turned to doubt
   When everything around me fell apart
   
   A broken foundation
   No unity remains, I was abandoned
   Left alone, put away, God forsaken
   The downfall of my faith
   
   The peace and safety fades away
   A glance towards the sky
   So unreachable without signs
   I'm drifting towards the unknown
   
   The solitude surrounds me
   And the loneliness drains my strength
   Old memories dawns upon me
   Your light, your warmth
   
   My God, my God
   Why have You forsaken me
   When I need You the most
   Where are You to find?
   
   My faith in You has vanished
   I've tried long enough
   You seem further away than ever
   Will I ever trust You again?
   
   Tears of bitterness
   The broken hope within
   Is this what You promised me
   The day I gave my life to You?
   A wish, a longing towards the sky
   But still encircled
   By Lucifer's freezing shadow
   God if You really exist
   Illuminate the path that leads me back
   
   Thoughts penetrate my mind
   Words from the past come to life
   A light from above melts my callous heart
   
   The Lord is good to those
   Who seek and wait for Him
