I'm looking for the words to a church hymn we used to sing during the 1970's. All I can remember is the first verse that goes something like this...
How can you really care with fury everywhere, I look for help but I can only see a wall. I turn to see the sun, but he is on the run, just like the stars at night, my heart is going to fall. I am alone, I may be crying, but He is always there. I yell God, where are you, oh where can you be, but I know after all is said and done that my God has known me from before all time and I'll see His face.
Thanks for your help. May God bless you!
Hello...for some reason I cannot get a reply box so I'm adding to yours. No disrespect intended. This song is notba hym. It was written by Paul Quinlan and originally performed by the Paul Quinlan Trio. My brother, Richard Regan, arranged the music and played the guitar. The other member was Steve Seery. The trio also performed at Carnegy Hall in the 1960s. At one point they were going to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. Paul was a genius. Unfortunately, Paul, RIP, did not copyright his music so much of it has been reproduced without giving him credit. At the time he was a Jesuit priest at Holy Cross College if you’d like to check the facts. I only remember the first two lyrics of this song. I don't think the Paul Quinlan Trio ever recorded it.
The words are as follows:
How can you really care, with fury everywhere?
I look to God but I can only see a wall.
I lay awake at night, but all I know is fright,
Just like the stars at night my heart is going to fall.
CHORUS:
I am alone, I may be crying, but He is always there.
I yell, God where are you, oh where can you be?
But I know, after all is said and done,
That my God has known me frim before all times,
And I'll see his face.
Oh come and rescue me, alone on an empty sea,
If I should perish here no one would even know.
But I have known a year, when you were very near,
What do you care if I am dying here below?
CHORUS
The third verse is most likely a combination of the lines mentioned in the previous answer that were not used above. Again, this is not a hymn or church song. In case you didn't get it, it is a song expressing despair poignantly. Most of his music was joyful, but such is the temperament of this artist.
Thank you for your time.
