Tell me friend, why are you blind?

Why doesn't he who worked the miracles

send light into your eyes

Tell me friend if you understand.

Why doesn't he with power to raise the dead just make

you whole again?

It would be so easy for him.

I watch you and in sorrow question why.

Then you my friend in perfect faith reply.

Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?

Didn't he say the way would not be sure?

But didn't he say that we could live with him

Forever more, well and whole,

If we but patiently endure?

After the trial we would be blessed

But this life is the test.

Tell me friend, I see your pain.

Why when you pray in faith for healing does the

crippling thorn remain?

Help me see if you understand.

Why doesn't he who heal the lame man

come with healing in his wings?

It would be so easy for him.

I watch you and in sorrow question why

Then you my friend in perfect faith reply

Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?

Didn't he say the way would not be sure?

But didn't he say that we could live with him

Forever more, well and whole,

If we but patiently endure?

After the trial

We would be blessed.

But this life is the test.

Tell me love why must you die?

Why must your loved ones stand with empty arms and ask

the question why?

Help me know so I can go on.

How when your love in faith sustain me,

Can the precious gift be gone?

From the depths of sorrow I cry.

Though pangs of grief within my soul arise,

The whisperings of the spirit still my cries.

Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?

Didn't he say the way would not be sure?

But didn't he say we could live with him

Forever more, well and whole,

If we but patiently endure?

After the trial we would be blessed.

But this life is the test.
