C G F
I think I'm gonna cry myself to sleep tonight
C G F
'Cause something in this world just ain't right
Dm C
The children are starving, the people are calling
Am G
For something their eyes cannot see
Dm C
I try to encourage them but they look at me
Am G
And say how can I believe?
Dm C
In someone that loves them but won't even show them
Am G
His face when they've asked Him to
Dm C
Where is this Savior and who is the maker
Am G
Who came and delivered you…
[Chorus]
F C
My God, my God
G F
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
C
My God, my God
G F
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
[Verse 2]
C G F C
I just wanna fix everything that's wrong
G F
But what more am I doing but writing a song?
Dm C
When babies have babies, they're babies
Am G
They're craving for something they think is true love
Dm C
Maybe 'cause daddy he wasn't a daddy
Am G
'Cause his daddy left him alone
Dm C Am
And people who hold so much power keep holding to power
G
They sit on their thrones
Dm C
A cycle of strategy crafting a battle
Am G
That You already won
[Chorus]
F C
My God, my God
G F
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
C
My God, my God
G F
Why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
[Bridge]
Wars aren't ending
Poverty's building
G
Sickness rising
Secrets hiding
C
Why won't You
G Am
Do what You can do?
F
People are livid
They don't wanna live in
G
This world that You've called us
To be in and not of
F
I don't understand it
Is that what You call love
G
I know You sent Your son
To die for us all but
C
Feels like we're hitting
G Am
Wall after wall, after wall
F
So take all this courage
I'm using to cry out
G
And turn it around for
Your glory to shine out
C
Your name in the earth
G Am
No matter how long it will take
F
And take all this passion
I'm using to bash and
G
Take all these fads that
Are destined to crash
C
I know it seems dark
G Am
But I still believe in Hope
C
I know it seems dark
G Am F C G
But I still believe in Hope, mm-mm
[Chorus]
F C
My God, my God
F C
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
F C
My God, my God
G F
You will never leave me
C F
You will never, You will never
C
My God, my God
G F
You will never leave me
You will never leave me
C
Never, my love
G F
Even when I can't see
You're working on something…
G Am
You're working on me
