God Help the Outcasts
God's Compassion for the Outcasts: A Musical Prayer
Lyrics
I don't know if You can hear me
I am uncertain if you, God, can hear my voice.
Or if You're even there
Expressing doubt about the existence of God or divine presence.
I don't know if You would listen
Unsure if God would pay attention to a humble prayer.
To a humble prayer
Acknowledging the simplicity and humility of the prayer.
They tell me I am just an outcast
Others label me as an outcast, someone excluded or marginalized.
I shouldn't speak to You
Despite societal judgment, expressing a desire to communicate with God.
Still, I see Your face and wonder
Seeing a connection with God, questioning if God was once an outcast.
Were You once an outcast, too?
Speculating on the possibility that God, too, may have experienced exclusion.

I can get by
