A Prayer (Interlude)

Lord... Lord?
Lord, I.. I.. I want to do your will
I .. I tell the people about you
And ... and they laugh!
They laugh, Lord
I... I try!
I... I have spent my whole life
Crying out to you and, and where -
Where were you?
Where were you in my hour of need?
You always ask of me
"give, Bethany, give"
And I...
I have nothing left to give
I... I can no longer go on like this
I... I ... I cannot
I will not

Where else to turn in my desperation except to you...
