God's Mysterious Moves and Ways

God's ways are beyond us
we can't work them out
He moves across the seas
by His power, we can never count

Down, down deep God goes
with faultless innerant skill
bringing up HIs treasures full
in His sovereign purpose so still

Remember, Christian believer take hold
fear not and believe, dread no clouds
God's merciful grace will break through
pouring much blessings, clear and loud

Don't think the Lord will fail you
trust Him through to the end
look behind His providential frown
there see the smile of a friend

God's purpose always bears fruit
opening up its doors every hour
Its early signs may taste bitter
but beauty is seen in its flower

Unbelief is always a bad thing
run from its grip with all your might
build your faith on God's true word
it guides you on God's upward flight

(This piece is based on the great hymn ' God moves in a mysterious way' written by William Cowper (1731-1800)
