I Know Not Why I know not why. I know not why. The Lord stays by my side. He guides me by His gleaming lights. Through the days and nights. I know not why. But Oh! How I must try to live my life for him. He died for all my sins. When trouble comes my way. And it looks as though it might be here to stay. But then I turn to him. You know he died for all my sins. He lifts me out of troubles why. Though it may be night or day. No better friend than him. You know he died for all my sins.

Alone In My Own Tears Day's come. Still days go. No one knows the sorrow and the sadness that my heart holds. I'm alone in my own tears. As I walk through this life, time and time again a I see the true way God intended things to be. Unity, love, peace and understanding. Oh, wouldn't life be so sweet. If no one ever got deceive or beat. Oh to sit and think. All the killing and surrendering. That is why, I sit alone to think. Then I can't hold back I'm alone in my own tears
