The Perfect Wisdom

The perfect wisdom of our God,
 Revealed in all the universe:
 All things created by His hand,
 And held together at His command.
 He knows the mysteries of the seas,
 The secrets of the stars are His;
 He guides the planets on their way,
 And turns the earth through another day.
 The perfect timing of His ways
 That mark the path of righteousness
 His word a lamp unto my feet
 His Spirit teaching and guiding me
 And O the mystery of the cross
 To save the helpless and the lost
 He chose the fool to shame the wise
 And all the glory might go to Christ!
 O grant me wisdom from above,
 To pray for peace and cling to love,
 And teach me humbly to receive
 The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.
 Each strand of sorrow has a place
 Within this tapestry of grace;
 So through the trials I choose to say:
 Your perfect will in Your perfect way.
 Each strand of sorrow has a place
 Within this tapestry of grace;
 So through the trials I choose to say:
 Your perfect will

 Your perfect will in Your perfect way.
