Oh God! Why?

God, I tried to be the very best I could be.
I treated him like a king!
He took my love and trampled it under feet!
He treated me like an old nothing!
Oh, God!  Why?

He lied, cheated and stabbed me in the back!
I don't understand how he could have been so mean.
He found someone who would share his Crack!
He dist my love and crushed my dream!
Oh, God! Why?

I try to stay positive, speak Your Word all the time
So often all I can do is groan in my spirit.
I can't become bitter, it would be a crime.
I cry in silence so no one else can hear it.
I must continue to walk in love, let it be blind.
Oh, God! Why?

Your Word says let love be longsuffering and kind.
I can't do that, Lord, I don't even know how.
I need you willing and working through me all the time.
With your power flowing in me I'll wear a smile, not a frown.
I'm going to make it!  I'm going to be just fine!
Oh, God!  I'll be okay, though I still don't know why.
