GRIEVE

My soul grieves with a sorrowful heart

Roaming aimlessly in this dark space called earth.
Twice have I brought to life
Yet, he didn't make me smile
Twice have I exercised his covenant
But it has come to naught.

Were the atheist right, believing not in divinity.?
They said there's no power in the Trinity.
Everything happens by chance
Prayers are only a waste of time
An exercise in futility
Showing religious stupidity.

Yes, we prayed and fasted
Unto him alone we sought for help
But help never came, seems he left us to fail.
He has afflicted us Twice with pain
I wonder what we stand to gain
Hearing of his mercies, yet he refused us same.

Why Lord, why have you afflicted us again
Why have you forsaken the works of your hand.?
Our expectations again has been cut short
Our joy was short-lived
Why did you raise our hopes
Why did you bless us just to stress us, or is this to test us?

In everything we are told to give thanks
I thank you for the life you gave and you left behind.
But I'm still confused deep in my mind.
Your faithfulness is ever sure
Fruitfulness is always assured
But the blood you gave her is caricature.

We will still serve only you though, because we have no other God.
Hoping someday you will give us double for these troubles and crown us divine success for testimonies.
