Better than I
From the soundtrack of Joseph King of Dreams (Dreamworks SKG)
I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told You how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
Chorus:
You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go of the need to know why
For You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
Is part of getting through
I try to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in You
(Repeat Chorus)
I saw one cloud and thought it was the sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If I let You reach me, will You teach me
For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go of the need to know why
I’ll take what answers You supply
For You know better than I

I transcribed this from the VCD because my son requested it.
I love this song too.
Just like Joseph, we must let go of our right to know "why" and just trust God that He will give us the grace to make it through the fire.
