Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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 their 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
