Why Me, My Lord?

I sat alone, lost in the dark,

Tears fell heavy, my soul fell apart.

"Why me?" I whispered, hands held tight,

Speaking to You in the quiet night.

I know You love me, more than all,

Yet I stumble, yet I fall.

And still, I fail to love You back,

Still, I walk a faith so cracked.

But tell me, Lord, is love like this?

A test so harsh, a fate so missed?

A mother loves, no matter what,

She holds her child, no grudge, no cut.

Then why does pain keep finding me?

Is this the love You promised me?

I know I’m weak, I know I’m flawed,

But don’t You love me, my dear God?

If love is pure, if love forgives,

Then why must I endure to live?

I don’t defy, I don’t demand,

But let me rest within Your hand.
