The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#286

286. Some Day He'll Make It Plain

1 I do not know why oft ’round me
My hopes all shattered seem to be;
God’s perfect plan I cannot see,
But someday I’ll understand.

Refrain:
Someday He’ll make it plain to me,
Someday when I His face shall see;
Someday from tears I shall be free,
For someday I shall understand.

2 I cannot tell the depth of love
Which moves the Father’s heart above,
My faith to test, my love to prove,
But someday I’ll understand. [Refrain]

3 Tho' trials come thru passing days,
My life will still be filled with praise;
For God will lead thru darkened ways,
But someday I’ll understand. [Refrain]
