Why

My thoughts they overwhelm me My mind cannot contain The pain that is within me Why I long for understanding I live to know the peace that comes from being sure of something My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord Yet I've seen you love and care, so I rest in your knowing Though I may not know I take on your strength as though it were my own Standing on the promises your word for me provides I find therein the answer To the question Why... My complaint today is bitter But sweet is your reply My questioning still lingers though why You know each road I travel down My heart and Yours are one But I just don't see the good in all this My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord yet I've seen you love and care so... I rest in your knowing Though I may not know I take on your strength as though it were my own Standing on the promises your word for me provides I find therein the answer To the question Why... Through suffering and sorrow Comes peace beyond belief For our present set of circumstances Serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see --- Why - Crystal Lewis
