About this Hymn
This is a prayer for us to understand God's wisdom at work in all of creation, at the cross, and through every moment of life. There are often no simple one-line answers to the different struggles and sadnesses we face in this life, but there is real confidence and comfort found as we think on his perfect wisdom and eternal purposes.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The perfect wisdom of our God, revealed in all the universe: all things created by his hand and held together at his command. He knows the myst'ries of the seas; the secrets of the stars are his; he guides the planets on their way and turns the earth through another day.
Verse 2
The matchless wisdom of his ways that marks the path of righteousness; his word a lamp unto my feet, his Spirit teaching and guiding me. And oh, the myst'ry of the cross, that God should suffer for the lost so that the fool might shame the wise, and all the glory might go to Christ!
Verse 3
Oh, grant me wisdom from above to pray for peace and cling to love, and teach me humbly to receive the sun and rain of your sov'reignty. Each strand of sorrow has a place within this tapestry of grace; so through the trials I'll choose to say, "Your perfect will in your perfect way."
