PreChorus All I did was obey Yet all I got was betrayed Lord, I don't understand Where is Your goodness? Chorus Oh, am I forgotten Lost and forsaken ? Oh, maybe You're finished Keeping Your promise Has Your faithfulness run out? How do I trust You now ? Verse 2 There was a day when I wore a garment Of the most beautiful colors I was so gifted Called and anointed Walking in strength and so much favor PreChorus All these dreams in my heart Yet here I sit in the dark Lord, I don't understand Where is Your goodness? Chorus Bridge Do you still have a plan that will prosper To give me a hope and a future? Is prison just part of my story That You're still writing ? 1/2 Chorus Oh, am I forgotten or forsaken? Oh, maybe You're finished...  but You promised Final Chorus Oh, I'm not forgotten Never forsaken Oh, You are not finished Keeping Your promise You've never let me down No You've never let me down God, You've never let me down Help me to trust You now
