So Explain It To Me Then!


You are supposed to be all compassionate,
You're the all forgiving God we are told!
So why do you allow such atrocities?
Why allow evil that turns us cold?

I can't understand, can't comprehend,
Why you turn away…
From pain, evil and suffering,
Every single day!

Because you do - you know, you do!
And every time you hear a child's cry,
It's as though it's nothing at all,
Tell me, God…tell me why!

Tell me why there's so much pain,
And suffering anguish and strife,
Tell me why you allow it all…
This evil that you gave life!

Is it a test like we are told?
Or is it that maybe you don't Care?
Then again, maybe there's a reason,
But no matter the reason, it isn't fair!!

It isn't right that people live in fear!
And it's so sad to know it's true!
So tell me my all forgiving God…
What are we supposed to do?

I am a Christian, good and true,
And have always kept my faith strong,
But now it seems to be wavering…
For it's only for answers that I long…!

How can you justify to me…
The whys and wherefores of life!
The pain and sorrow of others…
Their heartache, struggle and strife!

I don't think there's any justification for that,
And not for the fear they instil,
And nor for the fact you allow it to happen,
And why little children suffer…still!

The phrase, ‘Suffer not little children!'
Is what I'm told you said!
So if that's the case dear God…
Why do they live in fear, pain and dread?

Every Christmas time we see and hear…
Of the children born into a world of pain!
Why do you let it be so…?
Why do they suffer over and over again?

For a God all forgiving and kind,
And for someone who's supposed to care…
Why, why, why do you let them cry?
And why are you never there?

Do you see their suffering?
And do you hear their cry?
Do you hear their pitiful pleas…?
Of, ‘Dear God, let me die!?

‘Suffer not little children,' do not weep,
For there is a God who will care,
And one day when you least expect it…!
You will find him there!

For the day will finally arrive,
And therein will peace come your way…
But for now you must suffer so badly…
Until then - your judgement day!

So ‘suffer not little children,'
Don't you weep or cry…
Go to the light, go to God…
Then can you ask the question…WHY?

Will we ever get an answer?
Will the time ever come…?
Will He tell us the reasons…?
Will He explain what he has done?
