Wondrous "Why"

Read:  Psalm 22 / Proverbs 8 / 1 Chronicles 21 / Philippians 4 

Psalm 22:1-3 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?... Thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Proverbs 8:35-36 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. 
1 Chronicles 21:13 Let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies.
Philippians 4:1 My brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown... stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

Upon the cross, the Lord knew "why"
The help of God was so far off,
Since He foretold that He would die
For sinners, even those who scoff. 

May we stand fast, then, as we view
The wondrous mercies we behold
Reflected in Psalm twenty-two
Which David long ago foretold.
