28. Do You See Us, O God? by Jae Chung
Do you see us, O God
Do you hear when we softly sigh
Do you know, we often cry
Come now and touch, O God
Creating in us a brand new song
Helping us to get along
We know that there’s no easy answer sometimes
The pain is so much greater than what we can bear alone
O Christ our Savior, came to suffer, loving to the cross
Gave us the hope to carry on
