How can it be, Oh Lord?

How can it be that
   We only come to you Lord
      When we're in dire need?

But in the days we call "good"
   You become our last thought.

How can it be that
   We only come to you Lord
      When our hearts are broken?

But in the days we call "good"
   We forget it was you that made it unbroken.

How can it be that
   We only come to you Lord
      When tragedy strikes?

But in the days we call "good"
   We forget all of the promises.

How can it be that
   We only come to you Lord
      When we have nowhere else to turn?

But in the day we call "good"
   We all start to compromise.

How can it be
   Oh Lord
      That though you never forget us, nor leave us
         We choose to froget you?
