La Ma Sabach Thani

La Ma Sabach Thani;
The Cry of the Son

Where are you?
Why have you left me alone?
La ma sabach thani?
(Why have You forsaken me?)
I groan
I cry
I bleed
Let me be saved
Don't let me die
Take this cup from me
La ma sabach thani?
Where is my comfort?
Come, my God, come.
Do not despise me
La ma sabach thani?
They call for me to die
They call for my blood
They mock me
They mock Your Name
I am pierced
I am a worm, no more a man
I am bleeding
La ma sabach thani?
My breath is taken from me.
I thirst.
And am given vinegar.
Why do you not answer?
My strength, where have you gone?
Eli, Eli
La ma sabach thani
La ma sabach thani?

(My God, My God,
why have You forsaken Me?)
