I do not know why oft ’round me My hopes all shattered seem to be; God’s perfect plan I cannot see, But someday I’ll understand.
Refrain: Someday He’ll make it plain to me, Someday when I His face shall see; Someday from tears I shall be free, For someday I shall understand.
I cannot tell the depth of love, Which moves the Father’s heart above; My faith to test, my love to prove, But someday I’ll understand.
Though trials come through passing days, My life will still be filled with praise; For God will lead through darkened ways, But someday I’ll understand.
