Why Lord

I don't understand the loss of my friend,
Or why their life had to suddenly end,
It makes no sense why they had to go,
I ask why Lord, I need to know.

When Lord, will the pain end,
When Lord, will my heart mend,
When Lord, will I see the light,
When Lord, will it be alright?

I have a void deep inside,
And countless tears I have cried,
I dont know the answers, can't be sure,
How much more I can endure.

Child, it is not my way for you to be sad,
Especially since I am your Dad,
I know your pain, I lost my Son,
So you would not be the only one.

I've felt your pain and endured it all,
So I'd be here when you call,
It is very difficult for me to see,
Tears that are shed from you to me.

I hear your prayers, I feel your grief,
I know there seems to be no relief,
One day I'll share the answers with you,
But until that day, my Spirit is true.

I promise if you will take My Hand,
I'll be there and help you to stand,
The pain you have, I've also known,
I will not leave you to face this alone.

Your loved one is here, they came back to me,
When they entered my gates, their spirit was freed,
I opened my arms and received them in,
For all of eternity, I'll be their friend.

When they came back, my angels rejoiced,
Your loved one heard the call of My Voice,
Please don't be angry or stay very sad,
It was just their time to come home to Dad.
