[Verse 1]
My thoughts they overwhelm me
My mind cannot contain
The pain that is within me why
I long for understanding
I live to know the peace
That comes with being sure of something

[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes are blind to your ways oh Lord
Yet I've seen you love and care so

[Chorus]
I rest in your knowing
Though I may not know
I take on your strength as though it were my own
Standing on the promises
Your word for me provides
I find therein the answer to the question
Why

[Verse 2]
My complaint today is bitter but sweet is your reply
My questioning still lingers though Why
You know each road I travel down
My heart and yours are one
I just don't see the good in all things
[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes are blind to your ways oh, Lord
And I've seen you love and care so

[Chorus]
I rest in your knowing
Though I may not know
I take on your strength as though it were my own
Standing on the promises
Your word for me provides
I find therein the answer to the question
Why, why

[Bridge]
Through suffering and sorrow come peace beyond belief
For our present set of circumstances
Serve only to remind us of the gold we can't yet see

[Chorus]
I rest in your knowing
Though I may not know
I take on your strength as though it were my own
Standing on the promises
Your word for me provides
I find therein oh the answer to the question
Why, why
[Outro]
To the question why, why, why, why, why

[Instrumental]
