G        Am            G    C
  Not now, but in the coming years,
G            Am           G    C
  It may not be when we demand,
        Em       G              C   G
  We'll read the meaning of our tears,
      Am         G                D
  And there, sometime, we'll understand

[Verse 2]
G             Am               G    C
  Why what we long for most of all
G            Am             G    C
  Eludes our open, pleading hand;
      Em   G                 C    G
  Why ever silence meets our call,
      Am         G                D
  Somewhere, sometime, we'll understand.

[Chorus]
              Em G                Em  C
  So trust in God through all thy days;
       Em       G                C    D
  Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
         Em       G                   Em   A
  Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
      Am        C                G
  Sometime, sometime we'll understand.

  G  Am   G   D

[Verse 3]
G               Am             G     C
  Sometime, we'll fall on bended knee,
G                 Am            G    C
  And feel there, graven on His hand
      Em        G                   C   G
  Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see
        Am       G              D
  What, here, we could not understand.

[Chorus]
              Em G                Em   C
  So trust in God through all the days;
       Em       G                C     D
  Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
         Em       G                   Em   A
  Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
      Am        G                Em   A
  Sometime, sometime we'll understand.

[Refrain]
         Em       G                   Em   A
  Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
      Am         C              G
  Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
