It hurts to see you this way

I'm lost for words

There's so much I am wanting to say

Though I don't understand

I'll hold your hand

I'll hold your hand

If I have it my way

I'd take this from you

But God, He knows what He's doing

So here while our hearts break

We have to believe

That God, He knows what He's doing

Our God, He knows what He's doing

...

He's never failed us before

He has shown us

His Goodness, His Love will endure

His Ways are higher than our own

Whatever the road

Whatever the road

If I have it my way

I'll take this from you

But God, He knows what He's doing

So here while our hearts break

We have to believe

That God, He knows what He's doing

Our God, He knows what He's doing

One day we will see

One day we will find

All the answers to the question why

If I had it my way

I'd take this from you

But God, He knows what He's doing

So here while our hearts break

We have to believe

That God, He knows what He's doing

If I had it my way

I'd take this from you

But God, He knows what He's doing

So here while our hearts break

We have to believe

That God, He knows what He's doing

Yes, our God, He knows what He's doing

Oh yeah
