How Can a God of Compassion Let These Things Happen? (lyrics to a song I wrote today)

             How Can a God of Compassion
             Let These Things Happen
             (lyrics to a song I wrote today)

How can it be this way,
People dyin' every day,
Seven children died at school,
How can a God of compassion, 
let these things happen?

How can a happy day,
Turn into a tragic dismay,
People hurt on Boylston Street,
How can a God of compassion,
let these things happen?

Why does it make me so sad,
Why does it make me so mad,
People hurting every day,
How can a God of compassion, 
let these things happen?

But love is greater than any pain,
Light trumps darkness,
Sun in the rain.

How can a God of compassion,
let these things happen?
How can a God of compassion,
let these things happen? 

It seems like evil gets its way, 
And the light gets covered up all the way,
But in the end the bad guys loose,
'Cause in the end it's love we choose.

Love is greater than all this pain,
Light trumps darkness, 
Sun in the rain,
Light trumps darkness, 
Sun in the rain...
