Prayer of the Yearning Lyrics

Oh mighty Lord, You that hold
Heaven above the water
You, the one that feed the sun's fire
Have You, in Thy greatness
Forgotten me?

People marvel at the work
Of Thy hands
And cheer at the wonders
By Your name
Why, then, am I so bereaved?
How come I cry at night?

My heart once flooding
With love poured over me
Is now parched as the desert's sand
The words I speak
Once ones of love and comfort
Now poisonous darts
From mouth to hearts
Standing on my knees I cry
From the top of my lungs I scream
Forsake me not
You, coordinator of the stars
You, protector of sparrows
Hear my plea as I return to beauty
Open the gates as I return to life
