Jodys Song by Melissa Greene Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you hear me, crying out to You
Did you hear me, I did all I knew to do
I prayed, had faith
But You still took him away from me
[Chorus 1]
So I can choose to ask "Why?"
I can choose to be angry
I can wrestle when life
Is not what I thought it would be
I can wish that all the pain
Would simply go away
And at the same time, I can choose
Lord, to trust You
[Verse 2]
Do you see me, I can't do this on my own
Are you near me, just let me know I'm not alone
I prayed, had faith
That you would answer me so differently
[Chorus 1]
So I can choose to ask "Why?"
I can choose to be angry
I can wrestle when life
Is not what I thought it would be
I can wish that all the pain
Would simply go away
And at the same time, I can choose
Lord...
[Bridge]
To trust Your ways and not my ways
To know there's purpose in this pain
To trust that You, will bring my joy again
But I'm still asking "Why?" "Why?"...
[Chorus 2]
I can wish that all these pain
Would simply go away
At the same time I, I can choose
Lord, to trust You
Lord, to trust You
Lord; I trust You
[Outro]
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace, to trust You more
Did you hear me, crying out to You
Did you hear me, I did all I knew to do
I prayed, had faith
But You still took him away from me
[Chorus 1]
So I can choose to ask "Why?"
I can choose to be angry
I can wrestle when life
Is not what I thought it would be
I can wish that all the pain
Would simply go away
And at the same time, I can choose
Lord, to trust You
[Verse 2]
Do you see me, I can't do this on my own
Are you near me, just let me know I'm not alone
I prayed, had faith
That you would answer me so differently
[Chorus 1]
So I can choose to ask "Why?"
I can choose to be angry
I can wrestle when life
Is not what I thought it would be
I can wish that all the pain
Would simply go away
And at the same time, I can choose
Lord...
[Bridge]
To trust Your ways and not my ways
To know there's purpose in this pain
To trust that You, will bring my joy again
But I'm still asking "Why?" "Why?"...
[Chorus 2]
I can wish that all these pain
Would simply go away
At the same time I, I can choose
Lord, to trust You
Lord, to trust You
Lord; I trust You
[Outro]
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace, to trust You more
