Now you have rejected us.
You make us the taunt of our neighbours.
The mockery and scorn of those around us.
Despite all our labours.

Awake O Lord , why do you sleep.
Arise, do not reject us for ever.
Do not let us weep.
Do not us , sever.

Our friends may leave us.
We may feel deserted.
People may revile us.
We feel lonely , deflated.

But where there is life.
Hope is rife.

….

We feel rejected
Our friends seem to desert us
We do not lose hope

…..

See Psalm 44
