A Prayer (Interlude) - The Buttress

Lord… Lord?

Lord, I… I… I want to do your will

I … I tell the people about you

And … and they laugh!

They laugh, Lord

I… I try!

I… I have spent my whole life

Crying out to you and, and where —

Where were you?

Where were you in my hour of need?

You always ask of me

«Give, Bethany, give»

And I…

I have nothing left to give

I… I can no longer go on like this

I… I … I cannot

I will not

Where else to turn in my desperation except to you…
