WHEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND Lord, when I don't understand Why things happen as they do, Give me the peace and serenity That come only from you. When my soul is filled With darkness and night, Help me turn to the place Where I last saw the light. When I don't understand Why sickness comes my way, Or why I feel so overwhelmed And find it hard to even pray, When I do the right things But troubles come my way, When tempted to murmur And question all that you say Then, Lord, this is the time When I need you the most; Don't let me lose my faith in you, My Saviour--the Lord of Host. Help me to cope and hang on That I may truly grasp your role-- A sovereign God who knows And does what best for all. Surround me with your presence Let me feel your warm embrace That I in turn may comfort those Who hurt and in need of grace. Give me tender words to comfort, Words to dry the falling tears, Words to heal the troubled souls, And drive away their fears. Oh, that blessed land of Canaan, Can't wait to reach that golden shore Where I'd hear His sweet voice tell me: There's nothing here that would annoy. Oh, what a glorious day indeed it'd be When SIN is removed from the universe; It's the cause of all the sorrow, the sickness, The pain, the crime, and all that's perverse. With rejoicing I'll sit at Jesus' feet As did Mary Magdalene of Bibleland; He will then make everything plain-- The things I don't understand.
