Whenever you are feeling lonely and the evil one accuses you madly,
Whenever your springs of joy seem to run dry,
Then remember Him who bore your sins gladly,
And let your cries to his throne fly.
"My God, my God why have you forsaken me", Christ cried.
It was for our sin that God forsook Him.
Christ in that instant God's presence was denied
That we may never be forsaken by Him.
Oh that our eyes on Christ may ever gaze,
And on him our hopes be stayed,
That when we stray in this earthly maze,
May know that one day we shall to heaven be transported.
Can I bear this glorious thought
That forever in His presence I'll be?
Let the evil one rage as he is won't
I know Christ will never never forsake me.
