New Songs of Pentecost ‎#55

55. Why

1 Sometimes I’ve stopped to question why,
My lot seems hard to bear;
And then this thought my soul has cheered,
My Saviour knows and cares.

Refrain:
I know not why, I care not why,
‘Twill be revealed beyond the sky;
So I’ll not fear if Christ be near,
‘Twill be all glory by and by.

2 O yes, I know that when my feet
On dang’rous ground have stood;
His gentle voice in tender love,
My wav’ring soul has moved. [Refrain]

3 I ne’er again will ask Him why,
When gather earthly storms,
But with a faith that naught can shake,
Lean on His mighty arm. [Refrain]
