about

Julian enters a dark place, finding God’s words powerless to help her. She has lost a husband and child to the plague. How can God speak of care?

lyrics

Well, who am I to question, Lord, but question you I must
I lose my child, I see you not; it quite wears out my trust
‘I’ve made well the greatest harm,’ God says, ‘tired Adam hugged and held
And what I’ve done I’ll do again - I will make all things well.’
I say to God ‘The words are fine, you promise some great deed
But those of us who live here now are near destroyed by need
He smiles at me, so meekly faced, and with the eyes of love
Says ‘Know the pain you feel below is also felt above.’

But I can’t hear the comfort of these words, they slide away
My mind attacks and chases them, just anger in this day
You say a glorious secret, Lord, will show why all’s been done
But I would know the secret now, not all that is to come
I’m here tonight to question God, my loss it leaves me cold
I try to scream, there is no sound - no warmth or hope enfold
I hear no answer in the wind, no answer in these stones
No answer in this careless night, no answer in my bones
