Lyrics

I’m looking for a reason; a reason to be glad.
The things I had been given have all been taken back.
Yet even in my darkness I will praise the Lord.
He’s given and He’s taken back.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I’m looking for a reason that I should carry on.
And now my health is failing; all I once had is gone.
My wife tells me to curse my God, to give up and to die.
In all these things I will not sin.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I’m looking for a reason my friends can’t comfort me.
They tell me I’m the one to blame, “admit it, you’ll be free!”
But I can’t seem to understand what’s happening to me.
I trust the Lord, I have not sinned.
You’re no help to me. No help to me!

I’m looking for a reason the Lord won’t answer me.
I’ve pleaded for your wisdom, and still I cannot see.
I just don’t get the way these things keep happening to me!
I love you Lord, I trust you Lord,
Why won’t you answer me? Answer me!
I just don’t get these things happening to me.
I love you Lord, why won’t you answer me?

Stop looking for a reason that I should answer you.
Were you at the beginning? Just who created who?
How many things you do not know; you cannot understand.
My ways are far too wonderful; admit you’re just a man!
My ways are far too wonderful for you to understand.
Admit now that you’re just a man.

I finally know the reason. I finally understand.
You are the Lord of heaven and earth, and I am just a man.
Your ways are far too wonderful for me to understand,
So I take back the things I said
And I will repent. I will repent.
Your ways are far too wonderful for me to understand.
I will repent.
