Why?

Why do I always feel this way?
For I am in despair.
Why can’t I be like all the others?
This really isn’t fair.

Jehovah says he knows my pain
He sees what I go through…
“Please hold on my little one,
I plan to rescue you.”

Why is this life so very hard?
I am in misery.
Why do I have these feelings?
Something must be wrong with me.

“The end is very close my child.
I know it’s causing grief.
The sins that were inherited
Have robbed you of your peace.”

“I promise you the end is near.
There will soon come a time
When you’ll no longer feel this way
Instead you’ll feel sublime”

“The former things will pass away
You will not remember them.
They won’t come up into the heart.
But I cannot tell you when.”

“There’s so much that I’ve got to do
before the end can come.
So many prayers I have to answer
I still need to rescue some.”

“Please hold on and do your best.
Be faithful and endure.
The new heaven and new earth.
Are coming that’s for sure.”

“When you think you can’t hold on
Look up and call my name.
I promise I’ll be here for you
Your wild thoughts to tame.”

“And when we reach the other side
On this fact you can rely,
You’ll never, ever, ask again
Please God tell me…..Why?”
