God's beautiful plan
Is sometimes concealed,
But someday His purpose
Will be fully revealed.
Someday God's wisdom
Will make it very plain
Why problems were permitted
And how He uses pain.
Things thought illogical
Disease, tragedy, fear
Will someday make sense
When God makes all things clear.
We'll see the Lord's purpose
From Heaven's point of view,
And we will understand
In ways we never knew.
Till we are home with God
Some answers have to wait.
Lord, We'll Trust and Obey.
Lord, help us walk by faith."
