Sometime we'll understand...

A classmate of C's was killed in an accident a week ago.

  1. Not now, but in the coming years,
    It may be when with Christ we stand,
    We'll read the meaning of our tears,
    And there, sometime, we'll understand.
    • Then trust in God through all thy days;
      Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
      Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
       Sometime, sometime, we'll understand.
  2. We'll catch the broken thread again,
    And finish what we here began;
    God will the mysteries explain,
    And then, ah, then, we'll understand.
  3. We'll know why clouds instead of sun
    Were over many a cherished plan;
    Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
    'Tis then, sometime, we'll understand.
  4. Why what we long for most of all,
    Eludes so oft our eager hand;
    Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
    Till then, sometime, we'll understand.
  5. God knows the way, He holds the key,
    He guides us with unerring hand;
    Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see;
    Yes, then, 'tis then, we'll understand.
