I thought I knew the road ahead
Every turn and every step
But the path began to change
Twists and turns I had to face
Questions filled the quiet night
I was searching for the light
But Your whisper called my name
"Child, My plans are not the same"
When I cannot understand
I remember who You are
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts
Your ways beyond what I can see
When all the answers fade away
Your faithfulness is holding me
The mystery of who You are
Is deeper than the widest sea
I trust the heart that rules the stars
Your higher ways are good for me
Every mountain that I face
Every trial, every wait
You are working far beyond
What my eyes could ever know
In the silence of the years
Through the questions and the tears
Heaven's wisdom gently calls
Through the rise and through the fall
When my understanding ends
That's where faith begins again
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts
Your ways beyond what I can see
When all the answers fade away
Your faithfulness is holding me
The mystery of who You are
Is deeper than the widest sea
I trust the heart that rules the stars
Your higher ways are good for me
Just like the heavens above the earth
Your wisdom stands forever
Just like the stars beyond the night
Your plans are endless treasure
Unsearchable Your perfect ways
Too wonderful to measure
So I will rest my heart in You
My God, my faithful Shepherd
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts
Your ways beyond eternity
When every road feels lost to me
Your sovereign love is guiding me
The mystery of who You are
Will be my song eternally
I trust the heart that rules the stars
Your higher ways are good for me
So I will walk by faith today
Though I may not understand
Your higher ways are always good
I'm safely in Your hands.
