A song of honest lament and unexpected praise for those who feel abandoned by God — drawn from the raw cry and turn of Psalm 22
Based on Psalm 22:24 · Lament / Contemporary Worship

Verse 1:
My God, my God, why so far away?
I pour out my heart but You seem delayed
I'm wasting away in the weight of this grief
Cried through the night but found no relief
Chorus:
But You did not hide, You did not despise
The cry of the one crushed under the night
You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed
You were near to me even when I thought You had fled
You did not hide
Verse 2:
Our fathers called out and You answered them then
They trusted Your name and were not put to shame
So here in my darkness I'm calling again
I know You are holy — You're still the same
Chorus:
But You did not hide, You did not despise
The cry of the one crushed under the night
You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed
You were near to me even when I thought You had fled
You did not hide
Bridge:
From the depths I will praise You
From the pit I will sing
When my strength fails completely
You are still everything
You deliver the broken
You rescue the lost
You have never abandoned
The ones who trust in You most
Chorus:
You did not hide, You did not despise
The cry of the one crushed under the night
You heard every prayer, every tear I have shed
You were near to me even when I thought You had fled
You did not hide
You did not hide

Verso 1:
Dios mío, ¿por qué estás tan lejos?
Derramo mi corazón pero no hay respuesta
Me consumo bajo el peso de este dolor
He llorado toda la noche sin encontrar consuelo
Coro:
Pero Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste
El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche
Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé
Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido
Tú no te escondiste
Verso 2:
Nuestros padres clamaron y Tú les respondiste
Confiaron en Tu nombre y no fueron avergonzados
Aquí en mi oscuridad, vuelvo a llamarte a Ti
Sé que eres santo — sigues siendo el mismo
Coro:
Pero Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste
El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche
Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé
Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido
Tú no te escondiste
Puente:
Desde las profundidades te alabaré
Desde el abismo cantaré
Cuando mis fuerzas fallan del todo
Tú sigues siendo todo para mí
Tú liberas al quebrantado
Rescatas al perdido
Jamás has abandonado
A los que en Ti han confiado
Coro:
Tú no te escondiste, no me despreciaste
El clamor del que yace aplastado en la noche
Escuchaste cada oración, cada lágrima que derramé
Estabas cerca de mí aunque creí que te habías ido
Tú no te escondiste
Tú no te escondiste
