for the family and friends of Camryn Pass, a precious, dynamic young lady that God took to heaven on October 9th, 2011
In pain and confusion
My heart questions, cries.
And I wonder if I'm sinning
By asking God, "Why?"
Why must death happen
To those who love You?
Why take the young ones
When there's so much to do?
Why hurt their families?
Why pain their friends?
How does this prove that
Your love never ends?
My heart is all numb;
This doesn't seem real.
I ask all these questions
But then guilty feel.
What if I'm not supposed
To question Your plan?
What if asking "why"
Is not trusting Your hand?
But a wise friend brings comfort
And helps me to see
That You want my heart's trust
And yet full honesty.
"It's okay to ask why;
That's not a sin.
It only sin when you want
An answer more than Him."
Abba, I want an answer;
I'm not going to lie.
But deep down, more than that
I want to draw nigh
To Your heart by Your promise
That You stay the same.
This is all for Your glory
And the praise of Your name.
So whether You answer me
Or blind trust request.
I will rest in the promise
That You do what is best.
Thank you, Abba, for letting
Me ask You, "Why?"
And for counting each one
Of the tears I cry.
While I'd love explanations
For the the things that You do.
Above all else,
I want to know You.
