I am not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Saviour.
I take Him at His Word and deed:
"Christ died for sinners," this I read;
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Saviour.
That He should leave His place on high,
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange?— so once did I,
Before I knew my Saviour.
And oh, that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour!
Yea, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring,
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
