Persuaded

I don’t know why good people have to suffer
I don’t know why little children have to die
I got twice as many questions, half as many answers
And so many reasons I don’t pretend to understand
But I know who holds my hand


And I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day
Yes I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day


I don’t know why we keep on hurting one another,
I don’t know why we keep on building up these walls
Every now and then I get depressed about the pictures in the paper
Lingering questions tugging on my soul still I know who’s in control


And I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day
Yes I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day


And no height, no depth
There is no power can separate me from his mercy
Not my past, nothing to come, In the midst of all my questioning
The thing I know for sure…


And I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day
Yes I’m persuaded that he is able to keep my life until that day
