Why me?

Why is this happening to me?  Why me Lord? 
Why is there so much suffering in the world?
Why me Lord?  I just want to cry -- I just want to run!
Am I being punished for what I've done?

I ask my friends and they don't know why
It just makes me want to break down and cry
Sometimes I wake up in the morning too tired to try
I just want to know the reason...The Reason why!

Father, please forgive me but I am so angry with You
Please lead me to where I should go and what I should do
I know it's not Your fault things are going this way
I need Your love, 
                    Your mercy, 
                              Your grace

        In the end when I ask myself "Why is this happening to me?" again
        I will look up and pray,
                                       and trust,
                                               and know that my life is in Your hand.
