For You are turning out to be
So much different than I imagined"
"And where are you God
Cuz I am finding life to be
So much harder than I had planned"
"Know that I am afraid
To ask these questions
But You know they are there
And if you know my heart
The way that I believe you do
You know that I believe in You
Still I have these questions
Like How could you God
How could You be so good and strong
And make a world that can be so painful
And where were you God
I know you had to be right there
I know you never turn your head"
"You know that I’m confused
By all this mystery
You know I get afraid
But if you know my heart
As completely as I trust you do
Oh you know that I trust in you
Is it true
that fore every tear I cry
You cry a thousand more
Cuz you weep for those that weep
And are you, just holding yourself back
From crushing all the pain and evil in this world
For reasons we just cant understand for now
But isn’t there a day of redemption coming
Ohhh
Redemption is coming
Ohhh
Quickly Lord, come quickly
Lord, come quickly
Ohhh
Ohhh
So who am I God
That you would raise me from the dust
To breathe your life and your love in me
You know that I believe"
This song by Steven Curtis Chapman is one that finds itself quite often in my stereo these days.....
For some reason it's comforting to know that when your world comes crashing down around you, that it's okay to be honest with God. To honestly tell God what you are feeling right then. To bluntly ask God the tough questions that are laying so heavily on your heart. To be real....When no one else completely understands....it's a comfort to know that God knows your heart!
