How Many…?
How many times can a broken heart break?
How many tears can one person cry?
How many times can I ask you, Lord?
When will you answer me “why?”
You tell me to love you, have faith and to trust
In all that you do and you say
But I’m struggling hopelessly, wondering why
You’ve taken my sweetheart away.
Didn’t you see how happy we were
And how much he loved me so?
Why did you need him more than me?
Tell me, Lord, I need to know.
He was such a good man, kind, gentle and sweet.
He had such a beautiful heart!
He was my life, my hope and my dream
But you knew that, Lord from the start.
You took him so quickly, without any warning,
I didn’t get to tell him goodbye.
So how can you blame me for missing him so?
Lord, hear me and please tell me why?
I’ve asked this so often and waited so long
But so far the answer’s not come
I try to accept that it was “your will”
Believe me, I’ve tried and then some.
I’m now at the point where I want you to know
I can never forget what I had.
But I want to remember this wonderful man
Without always feeling so sad.
You gave him to me for so many years,
I loved him with all of my heart.
Help me now, Lord to deal with him gone,
That for now, we must be apart.
I pray he will always know that I cared,
What it meant to me to share his life,
How I cherished him, wanted him always to know
How much I loved being his wife!
Though now he has wings and learned how to fly,
He’s your angel, no longer mine.
Please tell him, Lord I’m trying so hard
To make it, one day I’ll be fine.
It’s hard to let go, though I know that I must
But, Lord it’s a difficult task.
Give me the strength and show me the way,
This, Lord is all that I ask!
