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.
