Silence and Tears

Jesus died for us, in his name we pray
At night we find light
And we live darkness by day.
In the business of working
And the busy-ness of play
We forget what he taught us.
We forget what to say.

Jesus loved all of us, sinners and all
We spat on him and taunted
Lifted his cross up tall
We nailed him there, thinking him gone
Such arrogance, we had such gaul.
To think we could beat God.
And ignore his call.

But God forgives us, His children we are
So we rush around on earth
With jet-airplanes and cars
Neon glow in the dark bubblegum
Electric bass and guitar
We're free of all strife now,
Good God here we are!


But now, something is wrong
This is a sin that cannot be forgiven.
Eli, Eli, lema sabacthani?
Where are you LORD?
In the hearts of a society that does this?
