WE WONDER WHY
When life’s storms come by
The we stand – sinking
Amidst the sandy banks of our mistakes
Houses built upon shallow political ideologies
Minds filled with hollow vainglorious philosophies
We wonder why
We shake our heads at Peter’s denial, like it was some infernal mistake
And all the while, we would do the same at Jesus’ trial
Not realising that it was our sinful lives
That were nailed to that bloodied stake
He did it freely for all our sake
We wonder why
We did not rest upon the rock of ages
That stands firm whilst the storm rages
In his hand more wisdom than all the world’s sages
Giving a gift so gloriously merciful
Just to see the smile on our faces
And we wonder why!!!
