Where is God When It Hurts?

Where is God when it hurts?

When the world crumbles around me?

Why is the pain much worse?

I ask why prostrated on my knees.

 

When the world crumbles around me,

There are reasons to ask questions.

I ask why prostrated on my knees;

In my pain, I look for direction.

 

There are reasons to ask questions.

I’m facing the challenges to my faith,

In my pain, I look for direction;

In this trial don’t fear—He saith.

 

I’m facing the challenges to my faith,

Do I have permission to doubt?

In this trial don’t fear—He saith,

Although my world is inside out.

 

Do I have permission to doubt?

I look for the comfort and hope;

Although my world is inside out,

My faith gives me the strength to cope.

 

I look for comfort and hope

In the great Lord my Savior

My faith gives me the strength to cope

I’m anchored, my faith will never waiver.
