My thoughts they overwhelm me
|
My mind cannot contain
|
The pain that is within me
|
Why
|
I long for understanding
|
I live to know the peace
|
that comes from being sure of something
|
My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord
|
Yet I've seen you love and care, so
|
|
I rest in your knowing
|
Though I may not know
|
I take on your strength as though it were my own
|
Standing on the promises your word for me provides
|
I find therein the answer
|
To the question Why...
|
|
My complaint today is bitter
|
But sweet is your reply
|
My questioning still lingers though why
|
You know each road I travel down
|
My heart and Yours are one
|
But I just don't see the good in all this
|
My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord
|
yet I've seen you love and care so...
|
|
I rest in your knowing
|
Though I may not know
|
I take on your strength as though it were my own
|
Standing on the promises your word for me provides
|
I find therein the answer
|
To the question Why...
|
|
Through suffering and sorrow
|
Comes peace beyond belief
|
For our present set of circumstances
|
Serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see
|
