WHY

Why me, Oh Lord, I cry each day,
Why can't my life be easier, I pray?
There are days I don't want to get out of bed,
I keep wondering what's just ahead.

Will my life be easier next month, next year?
Or will it be just the same…as I fear?
Lord, take these questions from my mind,
Help me leave them far behind.

Lord, I put my faith and trust in You,
You Know what's best for me in all I do.
You have a plan for my entire life,
And I know it includes some pain and strife.

So, please help me to accept Your plan for me,
Please take my thoughts and set me free.
Free my mind of all my questioning ways…
And instead, fill my mind with joyful praise.
