Eli Eli lama sa-bac thani?
My God, my God, Why hath Thou forsaken me?
Why doth Your presence feels far away from me?
Lord, why does my soul feel rejected of You?
Oh my Spirit is troubled within me.
Oh my feeling is down inside of me!
Lord, why does mine mind deceive me?
Yeah, how is mine soul depressed inside of me?
For behold, my soul feels like You have forsaken me!
Yea, I feel You have given up on me.
But lo, mine life is in Your hands
Oh my spirit is in Your palms.
My all, how I have tried so hard to break free from this false emotion
Oh I had fought for a breakthrough from this fierce depression
But it seems so stubborn and stagnant
Lord, it seems so willful and wicked
But lo, Your Word assured me of victory
Yea, I’ve also reclaimed those victories!
For in prayer I have prayed
Lo, even in fasting, I have done so..
But I’m back right where I started
Lord, I am here just where I was standing
Behold, I have no one else to turn for help
Father, I have no other gods to seek
Oh why hath Thou refused to hear me?
Oh my God, why hath Thou forsaken me?
Lord, for my prayers ascends but still unanswered.
Ah, even mine labour seems unrewarded
Ain’t gonna lie but I’m tired of waiting for my breakthrough
I can’t deceive You, I’m so weary of mine big break.
Honestly, I don’t know what else to do
Actually, I can’t think of the right thoughts to think!
For mine faith seems little and beyond discouraged
Yea, my heart faints and begs to be freed
For my God seem to have disserted me
Oh my Maker seem to have forsaken me.
Ah I have fought long enough
Yea, I have been torned long ago
For I seem to have reached the cross road
Hmm! I seem to have reached the bus stop
behold Lord, I can’t fight anymore
Yea, I can’t go on no more
For in mine thoughts I don’t wish to sin against You
Even in my troubles I refuse to transgress against You
So, I’ll keep my emotions under subjection
Yea, I’ll keep my spirit under supervision
And I’ll move on with life
Lord, I’ll go on with living
For mine hope will never stop hoping
Oh my faith will never sieze believing
For Your salvation and my day of visition
Yea, for Your deliverance and my season of freedom…
