God Moves in a Mysterious Way



God moves in a mysterious way  His wonders to perform

His disciplines may come with pain or raging in a storm

We cry for mercy on our souls we weep and groan and pray

We are perplexed but still beguiled by Your mysterious way


How long will silence be your answer Lord of Providence?

How long will you hide your face till your discipline relents?

We wonder as we wander in these shadows dark and deep

We sit here in the ashes and soiled sackcloth as we weep


Our God moves in a Mysterious way-We cannot comprehend

His ways are far above our ways-We will not understand

The enigma and paradox-Lift us from the miry clay

We are confounded, come to us-In your mysterious way.


Our souls are in a quandary, our spirits faint and fail

We cling unto your promises and pray we will prevail

Have mercy on us Lord of hosts as we grope here in this haze

Rend the veils that we might apprehend your mysterious way


You are still redeemer, and you are forever good

We cast ourselves headlong on grace but still not understood

The why’s and the wherefores of your missing staff and rod

And so we cry for comfort in the mysteries of God


And God moves in a mysterious way-We cannot comprehend

His ways are far above our ways-We will not understand

The enigma and paradox-Lift us from the miry clay

We are confounded, come to us-In your mysterious way.
