Only God Knows the Answer - Isaiah 57: 1-2
God knows the future from its beginning
His eyes see all things in His sight
nothing is hidden from our creator
who works always perfectly right
I was married in my mid-twenties
to a lovely Christian girl Jean
her witness to me really changed me
giving me a bible to make me clean
Through Jean's influence upon me
answering my questions on scripture
pointed me in the way to God
learning much along this road to endure
Jean and I wed in November '81
but Jean's health had not been good
for a number of years been a struggle
this causes thoughts so misunderstood
But things got worse needing an op
which was successful thinking all's great
but the illness came back again
leaving Jean in an unhealthy state
Jean died in October 1982
at 28 she had only a few years
God is sovereign in all He does
we must bow before Him in godly fear
("The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
devout men are taken away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;
he enters into peace;
they rest in their beds
who walk in their uprightness.")
(Isaiah 57: 1-2)
