Where Have You Been?

Where have you been? Where have you been? I've been calling, I've been calling If I cannot trust you to save me from pain How can you be trusted for anything? Are you still in the garden Where the trees gave us good food? Will this ache last forever? Will my eyes ever see you? As this dark night lingers And my feet grow weak Will your absence answer? Will your silence speak? Yet your voice comes softly: "Where are you now?" It resounds within me And you draw me out It was I who was far-off You were right there beside me Is it too late to turn back? Will you be there to guide me? My word is not in the heavens that you should ascend up Nor beyond the sea, that you should swim across My word is here in your heart My word is here in your mouth I placed your feet on my ground
