Better Than I

I thought I did what’s right.

I thought I had the answers.

I thought I chose the surest road,

But that road brought me here.

So I put up a fight,

And told You how to help me.

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear:

For You know, better than I

You know the way

I’ve let go the need to know why

Cause You know better than I

If this has been a test,

I cannot see the reason.

But maybe knowing

I don’t know is part of getting through

I tried to do what’s best,

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is to put my trust in You

For You know, better than I

You know the way

I’ve let go the need to know why

Cause You know better than I

I saw one cloud, and thought it was the sky

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You who taught them how to fly

If I let You reach me, will You teach me?

For You know, better than I

You know the way

I’ve let go the need to know why

I’ll take what answers You supply

Cause You know better than I
