I asked the Lord to tell me
  Why people have to die.
I asked Him why I can't see
  Or even say goodbye.
I asked Him for His comfort
  A little peace of Him
I asked Him for His solace
  To protect me from the wind.
I asked the Lord to tell me
  Why we have to die
And you know the Lord he told me
  By saying "Why ask Why?"
He said I am your vision
  When your sight has failed
He said it was our mission
  And to not be curtailed.
He said He offered loving grace
  And to those who would give in
He will show His smiling face
  To those who believe in Him.
The Lord answered my questions
  And now my faith is why
I know that I shall see Him
  In the moment that I die.

Knight of the Rose.

Blessed are those who have the peace of the Lord to undergird them especially in times of distress and grief. Very well expressed Rob. So nice to see you again at Passions. I missed you very much.
