[Verse 1]
G Am G C
Not now, but in the coming years,
G Am G C
It may not be when we demand,
Em G C G
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
Am G D
And there, sometime, we'll understand
[Verse 2]
G Am G C
Why what we long for most of all
G Am G C
Eludes our open, pleading hand;
Em G C G
Why ever silence meets our call,
Am G D
Somewhere, sometime, we'll understand.
[Chorus]
Em G Em C
So trust in God through all thy days;
Em G C D
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Em G Em A
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Am C G
Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
G Am G D
[Verse 3]
G Am G C
Sometime, we'll fall on bended knee,
G Am G C
And feel there, graven on His hand
Em G C G
Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see
Am G D
What, here, we could not understand.
[Chorus]
Em G Em C
So trust in God through all the days;
Em G C D
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Em G Em A
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Am G Em A
Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
[Refrain]
Em G Em A
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Am C G
Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
G Am G
