god moves in a mysterious way
(chorus)
god moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea
and rides upon the storm.
and rides upon the storm.
verse 1
judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
but trust Him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence
he hides a smiling face.
so fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and will break
in blessings on your head.
verse 2
blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain;
god is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain
his purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
bridge
deep in unimagined mines
of never failing skill
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
our god moves in a mysterious way...
our god moves in a mysterious way...
words: william cowper 1774, music: marc heinrich
