Gospel Gems Number 1 ‎#30

30. I Do not Ask Him Why

1 I cannot understand while walking hand in hand
With One on whom I can rely;
Why He should keep from me the way I fain would see,
But I do not ask Him why.

Refrain:
I am trusting Him, trusting Him,
As the days go by;
And tho’ I oft would know why He should lead me so,
I do not ask Him why.

2 Sometimes my way is led where flowers raise their head,
Sometimes beneath a clouded sky;
And tho’ I oft would know why He does lead me so,
Still I do not ask Him why. [Refrain]

3 In Him alone I trust, tho’ not because I must,
I yield my love to satisfy;
And tho’ my soul He slay, I’ll trust Him in that day,
And I will not ask Him why. [Refrain]

4 So Master, lead me on until my day is gone,
And giltt’ring gems bestud the sky;
And if some starry night my soul should take its flight,
Still I will not ask Thee why. [Refrain]
