Why?
By Barbara Dahlgren
We go through life asking why.
Why did my loved one have to die?
Why did they choose my house to rob?
Why did I have to lose my job?
Why did the Stock Market take my money?
Why must it rain and not be sunny?
Why do I have to be so ill?
Why must I climb up this hill?
Why does this road seem so long?
Why is everything going wrong?
We ask these questions up to heaven.
We ask but then no answer’s given.
We ask it all but we ask amiss.
The question we should ask is this:
Who made day and who made night?
Who can give the blind man sight?
Who made the mountains and the sea?
Who has a plan just for me?
Who made heaven and the earth?
Who died so I might have worth?
Who holds my life in His hand?
Who carries me in the sand?
Who knows what’s best for me?
The answer’s simple. It is He!
When the way seems too rough for you,
Don’t focus on why, just focus on WHO!
