All the Reasons Why

Written on August 6, 2000. This is a song along the same lines as "Anything at All." We don't always understand the reasons why things happen, but we do have the assurance that all things work together for the good of believers. God's thoughts and ways are infinitely higher than ours, but we can always trust Him.

Another failure
I watch the taillights fade away
Into the dark and
My dreams are leaving
Fading out
Leaving me lonely
Tired and helpless
And I, I just can't understand
The reasons why
So I raise my eyes up
Unto the sky
And I pray

Chorus:
Lord, help me understand
Your infinite wisdom
Your ways are higher,
Much higher than mine
And comfort me when,
When I just can't understand
All the reasons why

Darkness fading
As I watch the night slip away
Into the day but
I still feel empty
I'm fading out
And I feel so lonely
Exhausted and hopeless
And I, I look to You to find
The reasons why
And I raise my eyes up
Unto the sky
And I pray

Chorus

Closing:
And comfort me because
I'll never understand
All the reasons why
And let me know
That I don't have to understand
All the reasons why
I take comfort in
The fact that You're still God and
You know all the reasons why
