1 I may not know the reason why
Dark clouds so often veil the sky,
But tho' my sea be smooth or rough
The Lord knows why, and that's enough.
Chorus:
Oh, yes, He knows, the Lord knows why!
These things are ordered on high;
And tho' dark clouds may hide the sun,
The Lord knows why--His will be done.
2 I may not know why I am led,
So often in the paths I dread,
But, trusting Him I'll press my way;
The Lord knows why--I will obey. [Chorus]
3 I may not know why death should come
To take the dear ones from my home,
But, tho' mine eyes with tears be dim,
The Lord know why--I'll trust in Him. [Chorus]
4 So, tho' I may not understand
The leadings of my Father's hand,
I know to all He has the key,--
He understands each mystery. [Chorus]
