Lyrics
Can you explain your suffering
By other means than Providence?
Don't question His wisdom,
But what about His cruel indifference
To the faithful—those who serve and obey?
To the children—those who didn't do anything?
Fortune, misfortune
No reason, no rhyme
You can have it all like Job
But like Job, you can lose it in time
Why must you suffer
As the wicked prosper?
And must you listen to Him condescend
To you from a fucking whirlwind?
Toil in the realm
Of His holy care
He'll give and he'll take
Exalt or forsake
For reasons He won't explain
You'll never know
The reason for your pain
Or the meaning of the rain
Oh, what mysterious ways
Is He worthy of your praise?
"A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness...It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life." (Jack London)
