From Gary... The Reason

The Reason

Isaiah Chapter 40:28-31

I am young, a mere 10 years

but in my life are many tears

a parent died and I hurt sore

why should I live anymore?

In my teens and growing strong

but life is hard and I'm forlorn

for my young love has died today

so, why should I live- even one more day?

Married now, so happy we

but life has become a tragedy

Our firstborn child lay still and cold

so what's the point of growing old?

My loved one of so many years

with whom I lived through all life's tears

has died today and I'm alone,

I can't see why I should live alone?

Chorus

Come near my child and listen to me

for I am there in adversity

you are not alone and I do care

for in your hardship I am there.

Be faithful unto death and see

how beautiful heaven will be!!
