Don't abandon us
We are poor, blind creatures, like rats in a maze, looking out for number
one, fighting over limited resources.
Don't abandon us
We are the blind leading the blind, both falling over the precipice
without a safety net because others told us to do so.
Don't abandon us
We are wicked people who have forgotten or ignored Your divine law
engraved in our hearts and our DNA.
Don't abandon us,
As we cry out from our crosses, the crosses of our own undoing or from the
cruelty of others.
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Lord, do not abandon us,
for we are your wayward children, but your children nonetheless.
Do not let us die next to the thief, shamed
but rescue us like you did the repentant one crucified next to you,
let us hear those soothing words, "Today, you will be with me in paradise."
so our burdened hearts can be calmed and reassured of your love.
Lord, don't abandon us
Let your greatest attribute shine,
Let your mercy, penetrate the dark clouds that
threaten to engulf us.
And even if we are destined to die on our crosses, do not abandon us as
we follow you to the other side.
Lord, we trust in you.
