Why Me Lord? Because I Love You
Posted on March 27, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Why Me Lord?
Because I Love You
Why me Lord?
I strive to do your will
and follow in you way
Each morning that I awaken
I kneel down to pray
Why me Lord?
I praise you for your mighty works
Your sunrise, sunsets, I lift you high
Yet, before the ending of a day
There times I have to cry
Why me Lord?
Trials and tribulations
seem to be my second name
For the burdens of life get so heavy
I wonder if I will be the same
BUT
When I think about how you dried my tears
In the middle of the night
And whispered in my ears
That everything will be all right
In the middle of the storms
You give me peace within
Even though I do not deserve it
For I too have sinned
You sent your Son to hang on the cross
His suffering so terrible to bear
To show how much you loved me
That you truly, truly care
My troubles in this world cannot compare
To your greatest sacrifice
Jesus died on the cross for me
So that I may have eternal life
WHY NOT ME?
