A Father's Loss and Hope Found - Dave Wise

 

Father I ask so many questions

I am so full of doubt

I want to know you, hear you, touch you,

Believe you’re real

 

Your power, your goodness, your life, stir deep within me

But I know not how to satisfy my inner longings

 

I get angry, I am proud, I fear you, but do I know you?

 

So many hurts, so much pain, tears blind me, but do you take them away?

Do you cry with me?  Do you mourn what was lost? 

Your very son on the cross

 

Help my unbelief Lord, help me to see,

Who it is who truly rescued me

I know not the way to go or how to proceed

I am begging humbly on my knees

 

Thank you father for your love and sovereignty

Goodness, grace, and life abundant is what you give

Resurrection, love, and newness abound

In the hope of your Son, Jesus, I am found
