Because You Say So
At times I feel I won’t make it through,
No matter how hard I try.
But I must continue to trust in You,
For my needs You will supply.
Why? Because You say so!
When life deals me a tragic blow,
And I think I can’t face the trials.
I know that You will give me strength,
To walk the long rough miles.
Why? Because You say so!
When someone I love so dearly,
Hurts me deeply and wounds my heart.
I think, Oh God, can I accept this?
Yes, You’ll help me make a new start.
Why? Because You say so!
When others with whom I have to deal,
Look down on me with distaste.
I’ll continue to love them as myself,
And through me they’ll see Your grace.
Why? Because You say so!
When I find it hard to forgive others,
Who have treated me so unkind.
I know You won’t offer forgiveness to me,
Until I forgive and put all hurt behind.
Why? Because You say so!
Throughout Your book it is written,
That I should only look above.
Then I can overcome any obstacle,
For You love me with an unfailing love.
Why? Because You say so!
