My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Why are You so far, so far away from saving me?
Oh Lord, I cry every night and every day
But I fear You don't hear all these tears, I'm wasting away

You are holy, I know
You are holding me, don't let go

My God, You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God, You are, and I've got to believe
That You can hear me

They laugh, they say, "Who will save such a crazy fool?
Where is this God who will come to the rescue?"
But so many before have trusted You, Lord
I'll wait and I won't be afraid
I'll trust you, I won't be ashamed

'Cause You are holy, and You know me
You are holding me, don't let go

My God, You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God, You are, and I've got to believe
That You're always near
My God, You are never far from me
And You can hear me

Answer me, please answer me
Answer me, please answer me

Oh, You are holy and You know me
You have always been my God

My God, You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God, You are, and I've got to believe
That You're always here
My God, You are never far from me

And I know You're near
My God, You are never leaving me
And I do believe
You've answered
You've answered, me
