O Almighty, where art thou?

As I laid down on the lush quilt grassland, the heavenly skies began to conspire again

Draping the sun just in the nick of time

The sky seemed to be descending upon me,

Eyes wide open, but I couldn’t see you

I know deep down inside, you are all ears and watching us love you

But I couldn’t see you

O Almighty, where art thou …?

I looked at the sky again in agony with watery-eyes

Clouds surged hastily creating rattling silhouettes

I can feel its texture, but couldn’t touch or reach you  

O Almighty, where art thou …?

I closed my eyes and prayed

Worshipped and adored

Begged and cried

Shouted and whispered

I believe you are speaking

But I couldn’t hear you …

O Almighty, where art thou …?

I extend my hand onto you

I trust thee are very much there, hearing

But I couldn’t see, feel or hear you

O Almighty, where art thou …?

As my soul yearns to hear, see and feel you hysterically

All I see, hear and feel is pain, grief and distress

I believe you are near, but I couldn’t feel you

O Almighty, where art thou …?

I seek none in my struggles, but you

I want none to confide in me, but you

I pursue none, but trails leading to you

I search none, but to find repose in you

My quest is for none, but your existence

I believe you are listening, but I couldn’t hear you

O Almighty, where art thou …?

They say you are the ruler of this universe

Call you by different names, idolize in different forms

They say you can heal the sick, raise the dead,

Guide the lost, purify the lepers and help the helpless

They say being pious is the way to God

They say patience is a virtue and doorway to seek God

They bow down to you

But I couldn’t see, hear or feel you

O Almighty, where art thou …?

They say you reflect in none, but in the most merciful, benevolent and compassionate

But I couldn’t seek you …

O Almighty, where art thou …?

Prove us we are not alone …

Bestow us with none, but your love and compassion

O Almighty, deliver us from the evil

O Almighty, save us from the wrath of sinful

O Almighty, where art thou …?
