Who are you God?
Cuz you are turning out to be
So much different than I imagined.
And where are you God?
Cuz I am finding life to be
So much harder than I had planned.
You know that I'm afraid
To ask these questions.
But you know they are there.
And if you know my heart
The way that I believe you do,
You know that I believe in you.
But still I have these questions.
Like how could you, God?
How could you be so good and strong
And make a world that can be so painful?
And where were you God?
I know you had to be right there,
I know you never turn your head.
You know that I'm confused
By all this mystery.
You know I get afraid.
But if you know my heart
as completely as I trust you do,
You know that I am trusting you.
And is it true
That for every tear I cry,
You cry a thousand more
as you weep with those who weep?
And are you
just holding yourself back
from crushing all the pain
and evil in this world
for reasons we just can't understand for now?
But isn't there a day of redemption coming?
Redemption is coming.
Quickly,
come quickly, Lord,
quickly.
So who am I God,
that you would raise me from the dust
to breathe your life and your love into me?
4 Thoughts From My Readers:
I hope this album is bringing you peace. Or helping you in your grief. I'm never sure which it helps me with, just that it helps me. Love you, girl.
Wow! I had not heard that song, but I am off to get it now!
Dawn - I know you are weak and weary. Your heart has been sooooo stretched and I'm sure with each beat, it aches to comfort and "fix" and heal your "missing" children. Having the blessing of hindsight now, it is clear to me why God gave them to you. Can you imagine five years of their lives without the hope, without the knowing that there is a Mommy, a WHOLE family that LOVES them and a WHOLE world of people praying for them?
I love ya gal! Thank you again by honoring me with your last post. I got a slew of traffic from you and I have made some new friends. ;-) tu
I needed to read those lyrics tonight. Thanks D!
Dawn, I wanted to let you know I am thinking of you today with a very sad heart knowing your two precious children are spending another Christmas in Guatemala. I really believed this spring they would be home this Christmas. I don't want to get you down, but hopefully provide some comfort in knowing my thoughts and prayers are with you. What a joyous Christmas it will be when they are home with you.
Much love, Denise
