We Don't Always Understand
Finding Purpose Amidst Unanswered Questions
Lyrics
We Don’t Always Understand
We acknowledge that understanding is not always present
Their whole future, little hands, little feet
Referring to the unborn, emphasizing fragility and potential
No explanation, just wasn’t meant to be
Acceptance of the inexplicable nature of some situations
But hold on to the promise, that everything
Encouragement to hold on to the assurance that everything has a purpose
Even this, has a purpose somehow
Even difficult situations serve a purpose, seeking meaning
Keep on believing, He is good in all things
Encouragement to believe that God is good despite not fully understanding
We don’t always understand
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
Keep on praying, even if all you’re saying
Encouragement to continue praying, even when words may seem inadequate
Is take this from my hands
Even if one can only say, "Take this from my hands," surrendering control
I know You have a plan
Acknowledgment of God's overarching plan
We don’t always understand
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
It’s always different for everyone
Recognition that experiences vary for each individual
That inevitable something, that brings us to our knees
Highlighting a universal, challenging event that humbles us
Every time we’re sinking, when our hope is fading
During moments of despair, a reminder of God's love
He reminds us that He loves us
God's constant affirmation of love, despite difficulties
Oh how He loves us
Referencing the depth of God's love for humanity
Keep on believing, He is good in all things
Encouragement to maintain belief in God's goodness
We don’t always understand
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
Keep on praying, even if all you’re saying
Encouragement to persist in prayer, even in moments of uncertainty
Is take this from my hands
Even if one can only pray for relief and guidance
I know You have a plan
Affirmation of trust in God's overarching plan
We don’t always understand
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
When we hurt, when we lose
Acknowledgment of pain and loss in life
When we can’t find our way
When feeling lost, the ability to choose trust and faith
We can still choose, to keep on trusting
Choosing to trust and reach out during challenging times
Keep on reaching
Encouragement to persevere and reach out for support
For the meaning, He brings to all things
Seeking meaning in God's purpose for all situations
Keep on believing, He is good in all things
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
We don’t always understand
Encouragement to maintain belief in God's goodness
Keep on praying, even if all you’re saying
Encouragement to persist in prayer, even in moments of uncertainty
Is take this from my hands
Even if one can only pray for relief and guidance
I know You have a plan
Affirmation of trust in God's overarching plan
We don’t always understand
Reiteration of the theme that understanding is not always present
We don’t always understand
Repetition emphasizing the challenge of not always understanding
But I know You have a plan
Affirmation of confidence in God's plan despite lack of understanding
I know You have a plan
Reiteration of confidence in God's overarching plan
