why

by Joyce Anderson
(Jonesboro,Ar.)

oh,how oft I ask the question why
And oh so oft I hear no reply
For life on earth is truly a mystery
Unanswered questions so many we see

And oh for the answers we want to receive
So oft goes back to just believe
Our Father so wise, so faithful and true
Has surely promised to bring us through

Though sometimes our path sure seems to wind
We know HE is before us and also behind
So each step we take is truly by faith
But guided by Him on this path He laid

And when I feel I can scarce take another
The strength will come to go a bit further
This pathway of life HE planned from our birth
To give us a hope and a future on earth

So my choices should not be of my own
But guided by the FATHER who sits on the throne
For this path of life that HE leads me on
Will someday end at His own throne
