I Don’t Understand

I don’t understand why You’re making things this way

Why my family moved away and I’m the only one left to stay;

I don’t understand where I’m supposed to go

Or how someone I lifted up could push me down so low;

I don’t understand how I didn’t get a chance

The job seemed to be made for me yet I didn’t get a glance;

I don’t understand why I’m so alone

I’ve got friends and family close to me, but I can’t pick up the phone;

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do

I try to listen and follow but my heart keeps breaking in two;

I don’t understand God…

But I will trust You;

I will trust You because Your ways are greater than my ways

And Your thoughts greater than my thoughts;

I will trust You because You were pierced for my transgressions

And were crushed for my iniquities;

I will trust You because You…

You Are God;

And I…

I am not.
