Help Me Understand

Lord, here I am again, I come to You in prayer

With a heavy heart, Lord, burdened with despair

Questions in my mind like thunder in the night

Why do the good suffer? Why can't I find the light?

You love Your children, oh, I know it's true

But why do terrible things happen to the faithful too?

I want to understand, I need to know Your plan

Hold my trembling heart, be my guiding hand

Open my eyes, Lord, help me see through the pain

Unveil Your purpose, erase the doubt and the shame

Even in the darkness, Your love remains the same

Help me understand, help me understand

Some things are too heavy, some struggles too deep

Promises we've made, yet we still weep

Was there a different way, did You turn away?

Or is this part of the lessons You want us to stay?

I trust You, Lord, though I can't comprehend

Hold me close, be my strength to the very end

Open my eyes, Lord, help me see through the pain

Unveil Your purpose, erase the doubt and the shame

Even in the darkness, Your love remains the same

Help me understand, help me understand

In my brokenness, I seek Your grace

In my confusion, I find Your face

Guide me through the storms, teach me how to pray

Help me find the hope for another day

Lord, here I am again, in Your mercy I trust

Turning my sorrow into hope, I must

Though I may not see now what You foresee

Help me believe, help me believe
