Where Were You God

For many years they asked the Lord for a precious baby boy They hoped this child would bring them a lifetime full of joy The Lord indeed granted this gracious gift of love Wonderfully created by the Father up above As this child grew so did his dream to serve the Lord and man He was totally committed to the heavenly Father's plan His family did not like the fact his life was on the line But he knew God was with him and he would be just fine Although he was covered by prayers that never ceased He chose to risk his own life to give his brother peace A senseless act of terror snuffed out his life one day His parents filled with sorrow in anger began to pray "Where were you God when my son was lying on the ground Fighting for his final breath with the enemy all around" The Lord answered them at last and this is what he said "I was right there with him and I cried when he was dead Remember I too lost my son two thousand years ago I understand your agony and I want you to know Your son is safe up here with me he's doing what he loves Serving me and guarding you from my throne above"
