lyrics

How can I question the storms that come my way?
I cannot have flowers unless I have rain.
How can I grumble about trials in my life?
I won’t come forth as gold unless I be tried.

How can I get angry at such a loving God
Whose footsteps have already walked this path I’ve trod?
How can I doubt that this will work for good?
You could never harm me, oh no, You never would
And You say to me…

Chorus
You cannot see it now but I do
The purpose of this pain that you’re going through
You cannot see My plan
For you don’t yet understand
But I know that you will see
This had to be.

How can I question the things You take away?
The things You give cannot always stay.
How can I grumble when the sun does not shine?
I must walk through darkness sometimes.

How can I get angry at what Your hand gives
It’s only by Your mercy that I have a life to live
How can I doubt the love You have for me?
For upon Your cross You took my suffering.
And You say to me…

Chorus

And when I stand before You in heaven one day
And all these trials have passed away
I’ll understand the reason that I suffered for a season
And then I’ll say…

Chorus
I could not see it then but now I do.
The purpose of this pain that I went through
I could not see Your plan
Nor could I understand
But now I can see
That all my suffering
Yes, I can see
This had to be.
