Life Blindness

C 2002

Life is but a vapor
That disappears before our eyes.
Your health can come; your health can go,
And no one can tell us why.

I see through a glass, darkly
Because I see with human eyes.
My God, I need your wisdom,
And your sight on reasons why.

I sing of faith; I sing of trust.
I DO.  You know my heart.
But God, I do not understand
Why we can’t know this part.

Is it because we’ll do our best
To create our next big “fix”?
Or is it because you need our call
Whenever we are sick?

Many questions are left unanswered.
I guess I’ll never know reasons why.
So Lord, please give me strength to trust
When the answers aren’t in my sight.
