STUDENTS’ WALL
Sumarchana’s Painting
Fallen by the Wayside
What pain have I been to one that I’m inflicted
so much?
Why would you, oh my Master, turn your face
from me?
My heart is anguished; I’m distressed to the core.
Have I fallen from your grace and favour completely?
What love would give away her dear one to be
tormented?
How long would you, o mighty One, hold your
silence?
My days have become a living hell; and I, a living
dead.
Why do you still not lay me down to rest in your
peace?
Lhendup’s Photography
Brighter days have I seen; and so much more am
I promised!
My Lord has promised to be close to the broken
hearted?
I may never be able to understand what ‘God in
control’ is,
But one thing I do know, ‘my God makes no
mistakes’!
You may crush my spirit, oh evil one, and take
my body.
But my soul rests secured in my Master, o yes it
is!
I might have fallen by the wayside, but I’m not
beaten yet.
My Lord will pick me up and walk me home, o
yes, He will.
