Lord

 

written by LaDonna (Salmond) Harris in February 1998

after Grandpa Gordon Banks’ heart attack

 

My heart, it aches for ones I love.

When they do hurt, my heart is torn.

Sometimes I wonder and I ask,

“Why, Lord?”

 

Pain and death are here on earth,

But in heaven they will be no more.

Will my loved ones make it there?

“Will they, Lord?”

 

What can I do when I’m so far?

What can I do? I feel so helpless.

What can I do to help them more?

“Show me, Lord!”

 

Granddad is in so much pain.

Christ endured more pain for him

Who will tell him of Christ’s love?

“Who, Lord?”

 

Help me to trust You, to be strong

And to know that You are in control.

For friends You give, I’m ever thankful.

“Thank you, Lord!”
