WHY ME LORD

I know o Lord of your great love

The home prepared for me above

I know my name you did record

But I often wonder; why me Lord

That you took the time to answer prayer

When I called your name you were there

But should I really wonder why

As I imagine you reply

Why, my child, you believed my word

You called on me; forgive me Lord

I redeem the repentant; it’s what I do

I save the sinner so why not you?

Because my child I love your soul

Through my dear Son I made you whole

You wonder why I performed this task

It’s because I do what I promise and you did ask

Then why me Lord in serving you

You have me doing the things I do

But then I know with a talent given

An account of its use must be told in Heaven

So in humble prayer I did implore

Lord for your service use me more

So why should I wonder when you put me to task

For you only answered prayer when I did ask

I hear you whisper when I am quiet and still

You, my child, just do my will

Never doubt the things I ask you to do

I could have asked of others but I have chosen you

Just follow me and heed my voice

Where I have you at; it is my choice

When you do my will and obey my word

No need to ask of me; why me Lord?
