his ways

well i wish i knew how this thing goes

or why god chose the things he chose

or why he allows the things he does

and i wish that i could tell you why

but i won't even start to try

and no one else should waste a time because

well i wish i knew how this thing goes

or why god would choose the things he chose

i don't know why he allows the things he does

and i wish that i could tell you why

but i won't even start to try

and no one else should waste their time because

i found out that his way is not our way

and his plan is not our plan

sometimes god takes away

or gives us by his hand

so through life's smiles and through life's tears

i have learned throughout my years

i've learned how to trust

god knows just what's best for me

oh his way is not our way

and his plan it's not our plan

sometimes god takes away

or gives us by his hand

and through life's smiles and through life's tears

i have learned throughout these years

i've learned how to trust and

i've learned how to trust

to put my trust in him

i've learned how to trust

god does just what's best

i will trust in the lord

i will trust in you lord

i will trust in you lord

till i die

for your ways are not my ways lord jesus

and your plan is not my plan

i don't understand but sometimes you take away

or give us by your great hand

through life's smiles and through life's tears

i've learned throughout my years

i've learned how to trust and

even though i don't understand them sometimes

how to trust

he's the only one that knows the way i take

how to trust

and god does just what's best for me
