Why me, O Lord, my heart cries out
I’m only made of clay
What’s all this pain and grief about
I’m dealing with today

It seems sometimes the more I serve
The more the trials come
This challenge touches every nerve
I’m feeling kind of numb

I think I know what I should do
I’ve seen this road before
And yet I find I struggle too
With things I can’t ignore

I can’t pretend that things aren’t there
Or problems are quite small
While wrestling with this cross I bear
It’s hard to stand up tall

And yet I know this too shall pass
Someday there’ll be relief
So Lord, I pray and humbly ask
Please strengthen my belief

Help me remember, You’re in charge
Of all that comes my way
That every trial, small or large
Comes through You first today

For You’re not nervous or confused
When I cry out … Why Me?
For You know pain, and You were bruised
That day at Calvary

You did the work You came to do
You died and took my place
In everything God put You through
You did it all with Grace

So Lord, like You, I want to be
And see things through Your eyes
And trust You in adversity
With Faith That Never Dies !!!

to us is working for our good if we love God and
are fitting into His plans.
