My only hope

How can I be angry at my only hope?

Raise my fist in protest

When my history shows

Many points I should have died

But his intervention

Is now my reason for being

A child of the king,

Oh friend, how can I make you understand?

God is not to blame for your tragedies..

He did not cause them,

Evil was not  his design

He didn’t author wickedness,

His plans are not mine.

How can you still be angry when you consider who he is ?

Then consider this,

torture, mockery, nails driven through wrists,

All for the sake of all consuming love.

But I do not understand his ways,

where was he when?

His answer, right beside you, even in the deepest of pits.
