When the world comes against me,

And I feel all alone.

And the pain is so great

I curl up in a ball.

I shed tears in my pillow,

As each lonely day goes by.

Asking, why Lord?

Please, just tell me why!

Why am I so blue Lord,

Is what I ask today.

Why do I feel unwanted,

Please take this pain away?

Please tell me now Lord,

How and where did I go wrong?

Please Lord, just tell me

Don’t make me wait to long.

What’s wrong with this picture,

Is what I ask myself.

Am I living for you Lord,

Or do I put you on a shelf?

Am I doing things to please you,

Is what I want to ask.

Or do I want to please myself,

When you give to me a task?

Am I letting You guide me,

In my daily walk with You?

Or do I run the other way,

When there are things to do?

Lord, do I turn my back,

When you try to speak to me?

Or do I cry, Hallelujah!

It’s the voice of my King!

Is this why, O Lord,

I’m going through all of this?

Because I’m not listening,

Or is it a test?

Please Lord, Tell Me!
