The Perfect Wisdom Of Our God

Stuart Townsend


Tom: A

  A/C#       D      E      F#m
The perfect wisdom of our God,
  E/G#         A       Dma7  Esus
revealed in all the uni - verse:
  A/C#         D    E      F#m
all things created by his hand,
    D      A/E       Bm/E     A
and held together at his command.
   F#m7     E/G#         A      D
He knows the mysteries of the seas,
F#m7  E/G#       A   Dma7      Esus  E
the secrets of the stars are His;
   F#m              A/C#        D
He guides the planets on their way,
    Bm7      A/E            Bm/E     A
and turns the earth through another day.
 
[Verse 2]
  A/C#         D      E      F#m
The matchless wisdom of His ways
   E/G#        A       Dma7     Esus
that mark the path of righteousness
   A/C#      D      E       F#m
His word a lamp unto my feet
    D     A/E           Bm/E      A
His spirit teaching and guiding me
   F#m7  E/G#       A      D
and o the mystery of the cross
F#m7    E/G#     A      Dma7    Esus  E
that God should suffer for the lost
   F#m                A/C#        D
so that the fool might shame the wise
    Bm7    A/E          Bm/E    A
and all the glory might go to Christ!
  
[Verse 3]
  A/C#      D      E     F#m
O grant me wisdom from above,
   E/G#     A         Dma7     Esus
to pray for peace and cling to love,
    A/C#      D      E    F#m
and teach me humbly to receive
    D       A/E     Bm/E     A
the sun and rain of your sovereignty.
     F#m7      E/G#    A      D
Each strand of sorrow has a place
F#m7   E/G#  A   Dma7    Esus  E
within this tapestry of grace;
   F#m                  A/C#       D
so through the trials I choose to say:
     Bm7     A/E          Bm/E    A
your perfect will in your perfect way.

[Ending]
     F#m7      E/G#    A      D
Each strand of sorrow has a place
F#m7   E/G#   A   Dma7    Esus  E
within this tapestry of grace;
   F#m                  A/C#       D
so through the trials I choose to say:
     Bm7     A/E          Bm/E    A
your perfect will in your perfect way.
