God only has our good in view
So why the tears and pain?
He surely will our lives unwind
And there with clearer eyes we'll find
If clouds obscuring view would flee
He surely does the future hold
And gives the passion to be bold
Fierce waves that try and "rock the boat"
I know my Saviour calmed the sea
And likeness He will do to me
