Why Me?

Why am I me? Because You made me so.
Where would I be if You had not made me?
I never gave You any yes or no,
I had no choice to be or not to be.

Where would I be if You'd not put me here,
why did You put me here instead of there?
You put me with the people I am near,
to find the answers I need only dare.

Give me the courage, Lord, Your faith to take,
to place these mysteries in trust to You,
to understand Your plan is for my sake,
to grasp Your path for me and follow through.

Lord, give me peace and help me realize
You are the answer to my many whys.
