So Many Wounded Lives

Oh my Lord, my God
So many wounded people
So many shattered lives
So many lost and wondering
So many years after You died
Don’t they know You have risen
Don’t they know you are alive
Oh my Lord, my God
There are so many wounded lives

You said, “I am the way and the truth”
You said, “I am the light and the life”
Sent by the Father to give to us
Life in His love, You said, “come to me”

You are our only righteousness
You are the strength we lean on
You are the faith to overcome
You are salvation, our Lord and King

Oh my Lord, forgive
Me for not understanding
And for not keeping You
When You came and You found me
When You gave love to set me free
Don’t I know You have risen
Don’t I know You are alive
Oh my Lord, my God
Why, still so many wounded lives?
