Trusting the LORD on the Long Road

Better Than I

I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

 

So I put up a fight

And told you how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

 

You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

 

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing "I don't know"

Is part of getting through

 

I tried to do what's best

But faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is to put my trust in You

 

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

 

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You who taught that bird to fly

If I let You reach me

Will You teach me?

 

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers You supply

You know better than I
