209. My God, my God!

My God, my God,
Why have You forsaken me?
    Have I told a lie?
    “No, never!”
    Have I betrayed You?
    “No, never!”
    Have I condemned Your world?
    “No, never!”
    Have I tried to dethrone You?
    “No, never!”

My Lord, my Lord,
    Why have You then
    Forsaken me?
    Why?
    “Dive deep within,
    And discover the answer.”
