Why Do I Try
Why do I try, she says, when it isn't going.
Why do I try, when things are not the same.
Why do I try, when it's pointless to just keep going?
Why do I care?
Is that what you say?
What makes it interesting to continue?
What is the reason we just go?
Why didn't I stop?
The answer I just don't know.
There are times when we must stop and say.
Why am I going on this way?
The answer is; we're planned this way.
In Jesus name.
Amen, I say.
