The perfect wisdom of our God
Revealed in all the universe:
All things created by His hand
And held together at His command
He knows the mysteries of the seas
The secrets of the stars are His;
He guides the planets on their way
And turns the earth through another day
The matchless wisdom of His ways
That mark the path of righteousness;
His word a lamp unto my feet
His Spirit teaching and guiding me
And oh, the mystery of the cross
That God should suffer for the lost
So that the fool might shame the wise
And all the glory might go to Christ!
Oh grant me wisdom from above
To pray for peace and cling to love
And teach me humbly to receive
The sun and rain of Your sovereignty
Each strand of sorrow has a place
Within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say:
“Your perfect will in your perfect way.”
