Why Lord Then Can'T We
He was just a young boy only five going out to the waffle house
As when they did arrive there stood a man looking quiet grouse
The two just walked right past, his mom grabbing onto his hand
He wasn't of their class and her son didn't need to understand
But as they were seated at their table the boy began to question
To let it go the child was not able and he was anything but done
On and on the child went asking why this man was alone outside
Obviously a Heavenly Angel sent, as everyone else had just sighed
See, they went and invited him in and offered to buy him a meal
Some had that grin, but it was only for the man the boy did feel
Ordering a burger with bacon as he knew he was being blessed
Think what this boy has done the others just thinking him a pest
And soon his burger was there as back over came that little boy
As first the two said a little prayer filling that place up with joy
A lot of tears began to flow as each one had earlier walked past
The heart of giving they now know I can only pray that it will last
