the incomprehensible

lately i've been wondering about you

your timing seems irrational and flawed

lately i've been thinking 'whats he up to?'

and altogether forgetting you are God

your methods are incomprehensible

trusting is just too suspensful

and all i want is clarity from your mouth

so i sit and wait and kneel and pray

that one day you'll be easier to understand

i've prayed this prayer a million times unanswered

its hard to know why you allow this wrong

but this i heard from some poetic shepherd

that you O lord are loving and you're strong

so i'll trust the incomprehensible

leaning on your steadfast faithful arms

and learning patience as i go

here i am, i'll wait and kneel and pray

teach me lord to seek your will with all my heart

despite my constant doubts and fears, you remain

more faithful than a faithful brother can sustain

though all companions fail me and all prayers seem lost

my boasting steadfast will remain in Jesus' cross

my only need is your affection my air your love

my life i place at your direction, You will be enough

let my joy be a constand witness of your grace

until i cross the bar and see you face to face

-Simon Hoskyn
