Lost in the Confusion

*****
Lost in the confusion
Crushed by our delusion
We suffer and lose sight of who you are
In desperate destitution
We come to the conclusion
That you aren’t really who you say you are
God of our redemption
Without your intervention
You challenge every hope and every dream
Endless persecution
Without retribution
How can it be you do not intervene?
Hopeless desperation
We challenge your creation
Letting go of all we once believed
Knowing your salvation
We look to other nations
To salve our open wounds so they won’t bleed
Endless condemnation
Angry altercation
We fight with your Almighty Sovereign plan
Lost in our depression
We lose our comprehension
That in this futile battle we can’t stand
Suffering rejection
Needing true confession
We finally succumb to all our grief
Desperate submission
Leading to contrition
We blatantly confess our disbelief
Sovereign intervention
Spirit confrontation
With anger gone Your love can free our soul
Final absolution
No more destitution
We find a place of rest and we are whole
