Why

 

Why are you troubled, why are you distraught?

Have you forgotten all that you’ve been taught?

Why do you doubt each promise God has made?

By living the life of one who’s afraid?

 

Why are you anxious, why lose the Lord’s rest?

Don’t you know, this is the evil one’s test?

Why do you behave as one without strength?

Hasn’t Christ, to save you, gone the full length?

 

Why are you downcast, laden with worry?

Has God become too weak, you to carry?

Why do you think what to Him you’ve taken?

He just can’t keep and you’ll be forsaken? 

 

Why are you afraid, when life’s storms get rough?

Is God’s Spirit who’s with you, not enough?

Why do you act as though He’s not able?

So you trust what you think’s more capable? 

 

Why are you burdened when I am right here?

What makes you live today in constant fear?

Why do you not throw all your cares on Me?

So from your worry I can set you free? 

 

Why, just tell Me why, with fear you must live?

Faith, from Me is what to you I did give,

Why not test that faith, though small it be.

Remember that faith is what pleases Me.

 Amen!
