A mother bearing children
A father sailing off to sea
Like a river, I cry so many tears
A life-changing illness
Kissing innocence good-bye
Some things just happen
And we never know why
Pain with a purpose
I can’t even see it
But I know there’s a reason
Pain with a purpose
I don’t want to say it, but I know
He’s working all things for my good
A little boy forgotten
A mother losing her only child
Sometimes I question why
Leaving a homeland
Losing your best friend
Some days you wonder
Will it ever end?
Chorus
Even though I can’t understand
Please come and take my hand
You alone can comfort me
Flood my soul with peace
In your strength, I find relief
Hide me in the shelter of your wings
