Why, why...Oh why my Lord?

Why, why....Oh  why my Lord?
Why was the question many of us asked
when we learned to talk in the tender years of toddler hood
And why is the question we ask even today in our graying years of life
Many of us would go to our graves still asking the question why?

If we could find answers to all the whys we ask
Who knows, we may not even turn to God to worship
that may be the reason, God has kept our questions unanswered at times
and made us to realize the limitation of our thinking and doing.

How can we not ask the question why
When we see what's going around us in this world
Why do some suffer so much and for too long
while some rarely know even the pinch of pain
Why do so many children cry out in hunger
while some kids in another part of the world diet to keep in shape
Why do kids growing up amidst abuse, hunger and violence
put in jail for stealing to survive or put food on the table for family to eat
while those in higher ranking stay free out in the world
 in spite of mega crime and corruption they've committed

Why, why oh why
That's why the world in hunger and injustice are crying out today
Politicians have failed them; religion have failed them
with no one to give them the answer and no one to come to their aid
they have turned their question to You, Sovereign God
Because they cannot see or hear You to find answer to their misery
they keep doing what they know to do and go on crying which no one see or hear.

Is it fair or is it right, my righteous God?
That's my question for You today
It's easy for me to tell the poor and abandoned, to trust in God and to take comfort
But, if I'm in their shoes, I too would snort and walk away
for if no godly want to look at me and love me not in words, but in  action
I wouldn't want to love and trust their God either.

The Offering

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom
  and knowledge of God1
 How unsearchable his judgments
 and His paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?
Who has ever given to God
that God should repay him?
For from Him and through Him and to Him
are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen"
                                      (Doxology)

The glory belongs to God and not to me
for whatever good or great I do
it's through Him and by Him, I do
It's in His strength, I'm able to do the impossible
It's by His grace, I'm able to walk in love and share love
It's in His wisdom, I look life and the world with a different perspective
It's in His mercy, I learned to show mercy to others
So, without Him, I'm nothing and I've nothing to boast about
But with Him, I've everything to boast about
If I believe, my life is a gift from Him
Then, what I do with my life is a gift I give to Him!

Let this be Written

 Let this be written for a future generation
   that a people not yet created may praise the Lord
 Let them know that He is worthy to be praised
 His power and majesty are evident in the creations all around us
 His unending love all before us to embrace
 No time has He abandoned those who put their trust in Him
 No man can make Him to give up on us however sinful we maybe

Oh come and taste the goodness of the Lord
Bow down and worship the One who made the heaven and earth
The foolish can tell that there's no God
But those who have eyes to see and ears to hear
can only raise their voices in praises
Even the blind have raised their voices in worship
thanking the Lord for His goodness and mercy
the lame had walked in His strength
and the mute have voiced God's goodness in great paintings
Even if the mankind go  silent and tell no more of God's greatness
the birds and butterflies, the trees and mountains
the stars above and oceans below would shout and declare them
for generation not yet created to praise and pray to the God almighty!
