My thoughts they overwhelm me 
My mind cannot contain 
The pain that is within me 
Why 
I long for understanding 
I live to know the peace 
that comes from being sure of something 
My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord 
Yet I've seen you love and care, so 

I rest in your knowing 
Though I may not know 
I take on your strength as though it were my own 
Standing on the promises your word for me provides 
I find therein the answer 
To the question Why... 

My complaint today is bitter 
But sweet is your reply 
My questioning still lingers though why 
You know each road I travel down 
My heart and Yours are one 
But I just don't see the good in all this 
My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord 
yet I've seen you love and care so... 

I rest in your knowing 
Though I may not know 
I take on your strength as though it were my own 
Standing on the promises your word for me provides 
I find therein the answer 
To the question Why... 

Through suffering and sorrow 
Comes peace beyond belief 
For our present set of circumstances 
Serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see
