Not ours to know the reason why Unanswered is our prayer But ours to wait on God's own time To lift the weight we bear. Not ours to know the reason why From loved ones we must part But ours to live in hope and trust Though bleeding from the heart. Not ours to know the reason why The anguish, grief and pain But ours to know a crown of thorns Sweet graces to us bring. A cross; a Bleeding Heart; a Crown What sweeter gifts are given Be still dear hearts and murmur not For these are the keys to Heaven . .
