Why So Early
Light shone so bright
The future outright
Hills you have leveled
The small valley yet to be crossed
Hard work you had invested
Promising fruits in abundance
Yet a breath cut too soon to witness
Sweet sweat never consummated
Oh Lord, let thy mercies be
Oh Lord let thy eyes see
Oh Lord let thy ears hear
Solemn wails so hard to console
Family joys cut on the finishing line
Family torch turned off midnight
Family smile why should it turn into a frown
As family hope fades into suspense
Oh numerous questions
Without answer haunt us
Oh merciful Lord oh gracious Lord
In thy power our friend You should keep
