Crystal Lewis - Why lyrics

rate me

copyright Crystal Lewis, Michael W. Smith

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
