I Am Not Skilled to Understand

Author: Dora Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God has willed, what God has planned; I only know that at his right hand is One who is my Savior! 2 I take him at his word indeed: “Christ died for sinners,” this I read; for in my heart I find a need of him to be my Savior! 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinful man to die, you count it strange? So once did I, before I knew my Savior! 4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see the travail of his soul in me, and with his work contented be, as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my solace from this spring; that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.

The guilty pair bowed down with care God gave his Son to win; his erring child he reconciled, and pardoned every sin. Refrain: O love of God, how rich and pure; how measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, the saints' and angels' song. 2 When time at last shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When those who here refuse to pray on rocks and hills and mountains call; God's love, so sure, shall still endure all measureless and strong, redeeming grace to Adam's race, the saints' and angels' song. [Refrain] 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill, and everyone a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.

O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me. 3 In this, your bitter passion, Good Shepherd, think of me With your most sweet compassion. Unworthy though I be: Beneath your cross abiding Forever would I rest, In your dear love confiding, And with your presence blest.
