How many times have we
Boasted of tomorrow
Only to find our dreams
Dashed and turned to sorrow?
How many times have we
Made the finest of plans
Only to see them flee
And blow away like sand?
Can we stop and remember
Raise our hands and surrender?
If the Lord wills
We will live and love and die
If the Lord wills
We will see the reason why
And until that day
Let us trust and pray
And together say
If the Lord wills
When will we ever learn
The fiction is control
Finally realize
These schemes cannot console?
When will ever trust
The future he now owns
That he will lead us on
And carry the unknowns?
Can we stop and remember
Raise our hands and surrender?
If the Lord wills
We will live and love and die
If the Lord wills
We will see the reason why
And until that day
Let us trust and pray
And together say
Though we don't why we suffer
We will trust in
You who faced our greatest terror
We will trust in
You our praise our joy forever
We will trust in you
If the Lord wills
We will live and love and die
If the Lord wills
We will see the reason why
And until that day
Let us trust and pray
And together say
If the Lord wills
We will live and love and die
If the Lord wills
We will see the reason why
And until that day
Let us trust and pray
And together say
If the Lord wills
