SOME THINGS IN LIFE
DON'T GO AS PLANNED.
IT'S IN THOSE TIMES
WE SEE GOD'S HAND.

AND WHEN WE ASK
AND WHEN WE PRAY,
HIS ANSWER IS,
"YOU'LL KNOW SOMEDAY.

JUST REST IN ME
AND IN MY GRACE,
DON'T TRY TO KNOW,
JUST SEEK MY FACE.

NO MATTER WHAT
WE'LL ALWAYS KNOW.
THAT HIS GREAT LOVE,
HE WILL BESTOW.

AND WHEN IT SEEMS
THAT LIFE'S NOT FAIR,
KNOW THIS FOR SURE,
HE'LL ALWAYS CARE.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
AND MAKE US FRET,
REMEMBER, GOD
IS NOT DONE YET.

AND WHEN WE SEEK
TO USE OUR GIFTS,
WE'RE TURNED AWAY
TO FLOAT AND DRIFT,

WHEN THINGS DON'T GO
TOWARD OUR DESIRES,
JUST REMEMBER,
HIS WAY'S HIGHER.

WHEN WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO,
WE MUST ALWAYS
TO GOD BE TRUE.

AND WHEN WE KNEEL
ON BENDED KNEE,
GIVE HIM OUR HEART,
AND LET IT BE.
