The Reasons Why

Two children lie sick, each a child of the King
Both with fevers increasing, both which death longs to sting
Both have hands laid upon them, both are covered with prayer
Both are anointed with oil, both are showered with care

But for one there's a miracle, he is raised from death's bed
Beyond all medical reasons, the sickness has fled
But, the other has left us, though the prayers had been so bold
And we stand at the casket with the body so cold

When Your Word was true for both
And to both, Your love, You gave
Why is so, Lord
That one died, but the other you saved?

"Lord," we are asking, "why did the child die?"
"All the Scriptures that we stood on… were they all just a lie?"
"What happened God? How much faith did we need?"
"We truly thought we had a least a mustard seed!"

But, we must realize that if we could figure God out
Surely, in our eyes, He would lose much of His clout
Being unsearchable is a part of being divine
No one really wants a God smaller than their own mind

For now, the sky may not be blue, there's nothing but rain
Yet, we still praise God in the midst of our pain
And as hurt as we are, we know God is there
As we learn to accept that life is not fair

But, God has a made a promise, one day He'll share His 'secret things'
Let us meditate upon that, and the gladness that it brings
For after that awesome Rapture, or one the day that I may die...
I will get to ask my questions... and learn The Reasons Why

Our knowledge is fragmentary, incomplete and imperfect, and our prophecy, that is, our teaching, is fragmentary, incomplete and imperfect. But when the complete and perfect comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away. When I was a child, I could talk, think and reason things out only as a child could. But, now that I've become a man, I am able to talk, think and reason beyond a child's level.
But, for now we are still like children looking in a mirror that gives only a dim and blurred reflection of reality... unable to understand, but a time will come when we shall see things in true reality and God face to face! When that time comes, then I shall know and understand things fully and clearly, in the way that God has always known and fully understood me.
