Why

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 with being sure of something



My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord

yet I've seen you love and care so



(Chorus)

I rest in your knowing

though I may not know

I take on your strength as though it were my own

Standing in 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

I just don't see the good in all things



My eyes are blind to your ways oh, Lord

and I've seen you love and care so



(Chorus)



Through suffering and sorrow come peace beyind belief

For our present set of circumstances

serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see



(Chorus)
