WHY ME?

Along the shores of time the wounded lie
All torn apart with little hope, they sigh!
The battle scars of life seem oft in vain
Confused, at times, that maybe God's to blame!

But why this cross that we must bear today
That seems so heavy and so hard to pray?
Is there no promise that will calm the heart
Before all hopes and dreams are torn apart?

Some things in life are hard to understand
We fail to note the reason God has planned
Omniscience charts the course that brings Him praise
He is the Source of strength through all our days.

The cup that Jesus drank was for our sake
That through His blood eternal life partake
The trials we all face are here to show
So others find the Christ we claim to know.
B. Pent
