THE MYSTERY OF HIS WAYS

God’s providential care for me –
     things decreed before I came to be.

Mysteries ahead, and the road tomorrow,
     a path of thorns, mingled with joy and sorrow.

Dark days – bright days – high and low,
     God ordained a path beyond what we know.

As our days are numbered, may they all count,
     may our praise go up to the everlasting Fount!

And I will remember, He is always with me,
     and many of His ways will remain a mystery.
