Only God Knows

In the church pews every Sunday

There are stories we can't see

Smiles like stained glass in the morning

Heavy hearts beneath the breeze

Men and women, youth and children

Hands held high, eyes shining clear

But the roads they've walked in silence

And God holds them here

We are held by unseen mercy

We are carried by His hand

Before we ever called Him Savior

We were part of His plans

Only God knows, only God knows

The whole road we have

Only God knows, only God knows

And He loved us even at the cross

There are wounds behind the singing

There are tears we never made

There are prayers tucked in the folding

There are losses, there was shame

A child with a hopeful laughter

A mother with a tired heart

A father standing in the shadows

In our past, those broken parts

We are today because of yesterdays

And the grace that never sleeps

Every scar that stays unseen here

Still are tended by His peace

Only God knows, only God knows

The whole road we have

Only God knows, only God knows

And still He loved us at the cross

So let the quiet be a witness

Let the hidden stay unknown

We were never here by accident

We were carried all along

Only God knows, only God knows

The whole road we have walked

Only

God knows

And still He loved us at the cross

Aren't we glad our stories

Aren't for every eye to see

All of us have

Sing praises

Give thanks
