About this Hymn
Life at times is filled with unexpected turns, unfulfilled expectations, unrealized dreams, and unimaginable sorrows. But at every point we can be confident that the God who ordained the death of his Son to redeem us has planned our circumstances to work for our ultimate good and his endless glory. – Bob Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Christ, our wisdom, we are humbled when you hide your ways from us; you have purposes unnumbered, each one good and glorious. Help us trust when we grow weary, free us from our anxious thoughts; give us grace to see more clearly; you are God, and we are not.
Verse 2
Christ, our wisdom, be our gladness when we fail to understand; you ordain all joy and sadness to fulfill your perfect plan. Help us know you rule with power over ev'ry raging flood; in our most uncertain hour, you are God, and we are loved.
Verse 3
Christ, our wisdom, we will follow though the way ahead is veiled; as we journey through the shadows, grant us faith where sight has failed. Help us cling to your commandments, strengthened by your faithful word; we will never be abandoned; you are God, and we are yours.
Verse 4
Christ, our wisdom, we adore you for the beauty of the cross; once in foolishness we scorned you, but your blood has ransomed us. Help us sing the endless mercies of your humble heart to save; Christ our wisdom, Christ our glory, you are God, forever praise.
