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 with being sure of something      My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord   yet I've seen you love and care so      (Chorus)   I rest in your knowing    though I may not know    I take on your strength as though it were my own   Standing in 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    I just don't see the good in all things      My eyes are blind to your ways oh, Lord   and I've seen you love and care so      (Chorus)      Through suffering and sorrow come peace beyind belief   For our present set of circumstances    serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see      (Chorus)
