Wherefores and Wonderings

There is no pit so deep

There is no valley so low

There is no chasm too wide

Where the Lord cannot go

There is no night so dark

There is no wall too high

There is no storm too strong

For my Lord will hear my cry

These wherefores and wonderings

Will mystify our minds

We must give up on our ponderings

Fall on our knees to find

That the answers that we seek

Come to the bold and meek

In Jesus they are found

And on our knees we stand on holy ground

The thirsting and the longing

The hunger in our souls

All find their satisfaction

In the One who makes us whole

So wherever you are, friend

Cast on the Lord your cares

He will meet you where you are

But He will not leave you there

He’ll take you on a journey

That’s a wondrous trust and task

And all that He requires of us

He provides us when we ask

These wherefores and wonderings

Will mystify our minds

We must give up on our ponderings

Fall on our knees to find

That the answers that we seek

Come to the bold and meek

In Jesus they are found

And on our knees we stand on holy ground

The thirsting and the longing

The hunger in our souls

All find their satisfaction

In the One who makes us whole
