Why?

It's not for me to ask, it's not for me to say;
Why the wicked men prosper in their ways;
For I know that my God watches me each day;
In his heart of love, that is where I'll stay!

For my God says: "Vengeance is mine, I will repay!"
And yet He also says : " I desire mercy and not sacrifice."
Oh, how wonderful are His ways!
Without that I wouldn't be here today!

For only He knows and hearts and minds of men, who are but like clay: and a mist; which is here today and tomorrow is gone away!

Hip, Hip, Horray!
