I stood by the cross today
And watched my best friend die
His love was shining through the pain
The harsh and cruel cries
Father forgive me, I know not what I do
How could I have left you
What am I to do?

refrain
And what does this mean?
And how can I know?
Without your love, where can I go?
I can still believe, but how can I live?
How was I to know Your life you would give?

My God, my God
Why have You abandoned me
And left Your Son to die so randomly?
The world it lies in darkness
And its powers are strong
How can I go on living
Now that you are gone?

I stood by the cross today
And watched my best friend die
