A god missing By amy Shelver

In the angry spoken word 
Where is my god? 

In the pain of disease, 
Where is my god? 

In the anguish of emotion, 
Where is my god? 

In the disturbing silence of my life, 
A plea goes out… 

Under scorching, fiery blaze 
Where is my god? 

On the lonely plains of 
Lost love and lust, 
Where is my god? 

 

I am still searching, 
Still bearing the cross, 
Asking where is my god?
