Help Me Understand

Help me understand Lord why
things happen the way they do,
there are those who lie, steal and cheat
and those who tell the truth.
I've tried to live my life making
you proud of me,
seeking your acceptance
guidance and possibilities.
You've chosen me for a reason
I trust you'll light the way,
encouraging me to forgive
those who have hurt me today.
I cannot change a thing in life I know
you're in control,
the ruler of this universe the
one who owns my soul.
Tonight I ask you give me strength
to change the things I can,
and what I cannot fix
help me understand.
