A Psalm on Life's Troubles
Aug 13, 2009
O Lord, you say you are good
and worthy of my trust.
But why, O Lord, do you allow
such troubles in this world?
A little life filled with pain and illness;
then taken from this earth -
He was far too young to suffer so;
Much too young to die.
O Lord, you say you are good
and worthy of my trust.
But why, O Lord, do you allow
such troubles in this world?
A young father stops to help
and is killed in an instant.
A young mother and children left behind;
he was much too young to die.
O Lord, you say you are good
and worthy of my trust.
But why, O Lord, do you allow
such troubles in this world?
Two young lives snuffed out -
Before they really began to live;
And yet, in their deaths,
They touch so many more.
O Lord, you say you are good
and worthy of my trust.
But why, O Lord, do you allow
such troubles in this world?
Your reasons I may not understand;
My questions not be answered;
Yet, I will choose to believe
that you, O Lord, are good
and worthy of my trust.
