[Verse]
Cadd9 F
Tell me friend, why are you blind?
F Dm7
Why doesn't he who worked the miracles
C
Send light into your eyes
Cadd9 F
Tell me friend if you understand.
F Dm7
Why doesn't he with power to raise the dead just make
C F
You whole again?
C Em
It would be so easy for him.
F E Am
I watch you and in sorrow question why.
F C G
Then you my friend in perfect faith reply.
C F
Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?
C G7 Cadd9
Didn't he say the way would not be sure?
C Am
But didn't he say that we could live with him
F
Forever more, well and whole,
Em Am
If we but patiently endure?
C D7
After the trial we would be blessed
F G7 C
But this life is the test.
[Verse]
Cadd9 F
Tell me friend, I see your pain.
F Dm7
Why when you pray in faith for healing does the
C
Crippling thorn remain?
Cadd9 F
Help me see if you understand.
F Dm7
Why doesn't he who healed the lame man
C F
Come with healing in his wings?
C Em
It would be so easy for him.
F E Am
I watch you and in sorrow question why
F C G
Then you my friend in perfect faith reply
C F
Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?
C G7 Cadd9
Didn't he say the way would not be sure?
C Am
But didn't he say that we could live with him
F
Forever more, well and whole,
Em Am
If we but patiently endure?
C D7
After the trial we would be blessed.
F G7 C
But this life is the test.
[Verse]
Cadd9 F
Tell me love why must you die?
F Dm7
Why must your loved ones stand with empty arms and ask
C
The question why?
Cadd9 F
Help me know so I can go on.
F Dm7
How when your love in faith sustained me-
Why doesn't he who healed the lame man
C F
Can the precious gift be gone?
C Em
From the depths of sorrow I cry.
F E Am
Though pangs of grief within my soul arise,
F C G
The whisperings of the spirit still my cries.
C F
Didn't he say he sent us to be tested?
C G7 Cadd9
Didn't he say the way would not be sure?
C Am
But didn't he say that we could live with him
F
Forever more, well and whole,
Em Am
If we but patiently endure?
C D7
After the trial we would be blessed.
F G7 C
But this life is the test.
