LORD – I’ll Not Question You

LORD – I’ll not question You
As I did in the days of my youth –
Doubting Your faithfulness – of
Your love demanding proof
 
Patiently you pitied me
When bruised – my torn heart bled
Gushers of grief – You knew and
You always know – You bled
 
You bled on Calvary – Each
Drop of Your life trickled down
For us – gushing from Your
Side Your love poured down
 
With each tear – each wail – each burst
Of painful loss that stabs my soul –
I know You weep with me –
Yet You say to me – Let’s roll
 
Gathering up the strength You give
Me faithfully – my LORD – Let’s roll –
Your plan that I don’t understand –
Is best for us – I’ll trust

Isaiah 53:3-11 – The Bible (KJV) – He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
