Oh, my Son! My Son! Jesus, my Son!
“Why have you abandoned me?”
My soul is forlorn, once widowed, twice bereaved, alone among many.
The world is bereft of all comfort.
The rock that covers your place of rest, Jesus, my Son!
Is harder than the hardest diamond, stronger than tested iron.
It rejects my pleas, ignores my tears,
Turns its face of granite to me in derision.
Yet you are the breaker of bonds, my Son, Jesus, my Son!
You breached the rock at Meribah and crushed the seraph in the wilderness.
All of you waits for the fulfillment of the Father’s promise.
All of me waits for you.
Jesus, my Son! My Son!
Jesus, my Son!
