M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Please Tell Me Why That Is

When I get to 
Meet my maker
After I live
The questions I'll ask Him
Will surely be big

Like why is 
A sweet child 
Sometimes called home
Before their parents
Even are known

And why did 
You take her
When she's the reason I lived
Please tell me why that is

Please tell me why
I beg this of You
I've got all eternity
To find out the truth

I understand fate
Is written like this
But please tell me why that is

He sat with me and said son
Life is the gift
Your questions I'll answer
But you may not like this

I gave you free will
And a path with many roads
Each one you went down
Is the one that you chose

I put those before you
Even some that you wished
Yet you feared what I gave you
Please tell me why that is

Please tell me why
Was it just foolish pride
Fearing you weren't worth
Such a beautiful life

Or was it the bottle
You desired and hid
That decided your pathway
Please tell me why that is

I sat there with regret
And shame in my heart
My questions He answered
Said It's time that we part

But as I walked out
I turned to Him once again
I said Father I'm a sinner
Why did you let me in

He took me in his arms 
And said I died for your sins
Your heart though not pure
Asked at the end

For forgiveness so I granted
Your one final wish
And I hope that you know
Just why I did

We both know the reasons
You missed what you missed
Please tell me why that is

Please tell me why that is......
