Hidden Grace

Father, I have questions
And I wonder if that’s okay
Answers may not help but
May I ask You anyway
Father, why all the violence?
You’re sovereign, can’t You make it stop?
And why are brothers betraying mothers
And sisters being bought
I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there’s more than what I see
But how I beg You to explain what You’re doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
Father, why is there famine
While others have their feast?
And how does death choose who’s taken early
And who’s left behind to grieve
I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there’s more than what I see
But how I beg You to explain what You’re doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
I will keep asking 'til my dying day
'Cause maybe it’s the asking that You want from me
And maybe this confusion is a hidden grace
'Cause maybe You know I can’t bear the answer’s weight
Oh, I know that I can’t bear the answer’s weight
So I accept I may not get all the answers
'Cause I know that there’s more than what I see
Hm but how I beg You to explain what You’re doing
On this side of eternity, on this side of eternity
Hm-hmm, on this side of eternity
