Another Good-Bye Lord

From the time of my youth you have given me people only to take them away. Leaving me feeling lost and abandoned, like an orphan left all alone. Just once Lord I would like to be able to know that this one won’t walk out on me. Or that one won’t be called home to stand before your throne. I just don’t understand why this keeps happening! Was it something I did? That I didn’t do? I thought I was good enough Lord. Please tell me as I haven’t a clue! Lost one to drugs, not dead but dead to me. The first one to cancer Lord and then the other?! Just when I think it won’t happen again… You send away another! Yes, I am angry Lord! I know you can see…. The tears streaming down my face; When you take loved ones away from me. I know there is a reason… I was raised to believe! It all works together for the good of those that love You Lord. There is still hope. Even when they leave. So, first I’ll say I’m sorry for ever doubting you. Then I’ll go on waiting for that day to arrive; With the sound of the trumpet, in a twinkling of the eye When I know everything is perfect and everyone is alive!
