My wife was sick, so I prayed
But You decided to take her away
Or You weren't there at all
Was I fool who was talking to a wall
While she lay there waiting for death?
Uttering praise in her dying breath
She was faithful–now I'm faithless
You should have taken me in her place
I broke the silence of my broken heart with a question
“Is there a reason?”
I don't recall falling asleep
Last night was the anniversary
I was at work–it's all that I have
To keep from going crazy in this empty house
Then a light came in the form of a man
I hit the floor and I lifted my hands
Then it told me the Lord will come soon
To eat the Passover in my extra room
I broke the silence of my broken heart with a question
“Is there a reason?”
Are You really there?
Have I dreamed all of this up?
Is there a reason?
Are You really there?
If I make a space will You come fill it up?
Are You coming?
