Believing Without Answers

The good that we would choose would not be wrapped in pain and fears
It would not test our trust or make us wonder ‘why’ through tears
"The purpose we are called to’ we do not always applaud
Where we are often unable to explain the will of God

For God whose thoughts are higher than mortal can comprehend
Whose ways are far above the way we think His ways should bend
Sees far more than the moment-dots we struggle to connect
As all things work together for the good of His elect

He knows the woes we suffer are not pleasing to endure
But oh, He goes before us and makes every step secure
He levels mountains, breaks bronzed gates and cuts through iron bars
While testing we who follow with the ache of battle-scars

So we may know that He is Lord and His love never fails
…so we may find the hidden riches surrender unveils
…so we may learn to simply trust His love is misunderstood
Believing without answers that He works for our good
