Life's Drastic Detour

How much more can we take?This suffering is surreal and lasting so long Father please help us, we're too weak to stay strong Some ask for joy and some ask for health Some seek great riches and glory to selfI come before you with my face to the floor Humbly and broken, Lord, she can't take much more And what must I do, for your healing hand? We've prayed and we've prayed, God, I just can't understandBut I know that your ways are much higher than mine I know that the answer will come in due time I am pleading before you with all that I am Please ease her pain as no mere man can Please give me strong shoulders And arms which to hold her Give me wise words and silence as needed The strength to comfort her in the times she feels cheatedPlease tell me her cancer is defeated and gone Give her time to rest after suffering so long Amen
