[Verse 1]
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may not be when we demand,
We ll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we ll understand
[Verse 2]
Why what we long for most of all
Eludes our open, pleading hand;
Why ever silence meets our call,
Somewhere, sometime, we ll understand.
[Chorus]
So trust in God through all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we ll understand.
[Verse 3]
Sometime, we ll fall on bended knee,
And feel there, graven on His hand
Sometime with tearless eyes we ll see
What, here, we could not understand.
[Chorus]
So trust in God through all the days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we ll understand.
[Refrain]
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we ll understand.
