Now I Understand

I finally understand it Lord though it's taken many years Through the ups and downs of life and a river full of tears It's becoming clear to me when I wanted to give up You would still my spirit and fill my empty cup Now I know the reason you never let me go You wanted me to survive so multitudes would know No matter what the circumstance we can rise above As we let you carry us on your wings of love Where you will lead us to a place & make us lie down and rest And remind us gently you always know what's best Thank you Lord for using me to let your light shine through I pray you will be glorified as I minister for you Amen
