Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Tel[D]l me [G]friend,
why [C]are you blind?
Why doesn't he who worked the
miracles send [G]light into your eyes?
tell me friend if you [C]understand why doesn't
he with power to raise the dead
just [G]make you whole again it would be so easy
for him I [C]watch you and [B]in sorrow
question [Em]why then [C]you my friend in perfect
faith reply [D]didn't he [G]say he
sent us [Em]to be tested [D]didn't he say [G]the [C]way
would not [G]be sure but didn't he say
We could live with him [Em]forevermore,
[C]well and whole, [B]if we but patiently en[Em]dure.
After [G]the trial, we will [Em]be blessed,
[C]but this life [D]is [Em]the t[G]est.[C][G]
Tell me, I [C]see your pain
Why when you pray
in faith for healing
[G]Does the crippling thorn remain
Help me see if [C]you understand
Why doesn't he who healed
the lame man
Come [G]with healing in his wings
it would be so easy for [C]him I watch you [B]and in
sorrow question [Em]why then y[C]ou my
friend in perfect faith [D]reply didn't he [G]say
he sent us to [C]be tested did[D]n't he
[G]say the [C]way would not be [G]sure but didn't he
say we could live with him [D]forever[Em]
more [C]well and whole [B]if we but patiently en
[Em]dure after the [G]trial we [Em]will be blessed
But [C]this life [D]is [Em]the test.[C][G]
Tell me now, why must [C]you die?
Why must you loved ones stand with
empty arm[D]s and [G]ask the question [Em]why?
[G]Help me know, so I [C]can go on
How when your love and faith sustain me
Can [G]the precious gift be gone
From the depths of sorrow, I cry
Though [C]pains of grief with
[B]in my [Em]soul arise
The [C]whisperings of the
spirit [D]still my cries
Didn't [C]he [G]say he sent us to [C]be tested?
[D]Didn't he say[G] the
[C]way would not be [G]sure?
But didn't he say we [D]could live with [G]him [Em]forever more,
[C]well and whole, [B]if we but patiently en[Em]dure?
After the [G]trial, we [Em]will be blessed,
but [C]this life [D]is the [G]test.[C][G]
