The Lyrics
I've seen things in this world I can't explain
A kind of pain with no reason and no name
I believe that You are good, that You are near
So how can both be true with all the pain down here?
You hold it all, You saw it all before
So why would You allow it, God? What for?
I don't have the answer to the why
And I won't pretend it's all okay tonight
But You're not a God who turns and looks away
You came into the dark, You bled the same
So when I cannot trace the way You move
I'll trust the heart behind it, I'll trust You
I think about the prayers that didn't get a yes
The healings that we begged for that never came
I won't tie a bow on grief or call it grace
Some things on this side of heaven won't make sense
But trust was never sayin' that the pain's not real
It's holdin' to Your goodness through the things I feel
I don't have the answer to the why
And I won't pretend it's all okay tonight
But You're not a God who turns and looks away
You came into the dark, You bled the same
So when I cannot trace the way You move
I'll trust the heart behind it, I'll trust You
This is not the end of the story
The grave didn't win, and neither will this
There's a day already written
Where He redeems every tear we cried
He's not absent, He is patient
And patience is not the same as gone
The God who conquered death
Is comin' back to right every wrong
So I'll trust the heart I cannot see
And hold on to you
