Your Purpose I Cannot See

O the pain and the deep sorrow,
the depths of this sadness;
the past it haunts me,
my dreams, even they confess.

My heart it wrenches,
the confusion is hard to bear;
years of not understanding this race,
my heart, it continues to tear.

What is my Father doing?
Why has He chosen this path for me?
Speak to me O Lord,
Your purpose I cannot see.

This life is but a vapor,
this world will pass away;
but O the pain that is here,
perhaps it will make sense one day.
