All He Can

He is doing all he can He wants to save his son Medicine, nontraditional he has tried every one He is doing all he can Still it's out of his control His son keeps on suffering Pain is demanding it's toll He is doing all he can He prays night and day "Please God save him don't take my son away." He can do no more Now it's all in God's hands Time to trust in Jesus He has his own plans God will do what he does There are things we can't see His son will be the witness When God sets him free On wings he will travel Heaven will rejoyce on that day Tears will turn to celebration God will take his pain away His life will not be wasted This is a temporary Death Eternal life to be provided Upon his final breath

Not my will but thine be done! We cannot know the inner workings of His heart but I do believe there is a reason for every action. You point out the trust needed to accept this and the verse is a wonderful testimony to trust!
