Why Not Now?

  

So many are weighed down by hurt and pain,

Barely able to keep themselves sane.

Why not now?

 Tear filled pillows night after night,

And an end appears to be nowhere in sight.

Why not now?

When will the hurt end?

Where is this light that’s supposed to shine again?

We’re ready to be saved today.

Why not now?

Your children desperately need to hear the trumpet sound.    

This world is dark and ugly, and peace is never close enough to be found.
Please rain down your mercy and grace,

Because we’re barely hanging on in this awful place.

Why not now?

We need you to save us and fill us with your hope.

Please don’t wait, it's almost impossible to cope.

Why not now?
We're aching to be home with You.
We need you to come for us,
Why not now?
