Verse 1:
C 
Sometimes its easy, to  
G 
ask yourself why,
 
When the  
F 
hurt that you feel, cuts  
C 
so deep in
G 
side
 
And it  
C 
seems like you’ve lost,
 
Your  
G 
reason for life,
 
Oh but  
F 
hear what I say, and  
C 
take my ad
G 
vice
 
Don’t give  
F 
up you’re not walking a
C 
lone
 
For there’s  
F 
One whose beside you
 
He’s been  
C 
there all a
G 
long
 
And He  
F 
knows every tear that you’ve  
C 
cried,
 
And  
F 
He has the answer to  
G 
why

Chorus:

 
Only  
F 
God knows how  
G 
your broken heart,
C 
Fits in His  
G/B 
master 
 
 
Am 
plan,
 
And  
F 
just when you think your world is  
C 
falling 
 
a
G/B

Am 
 
You’ll find He’s  
F 
holding your world in His  
G 
hand,

ground I don’t  
C 
know,
 
but I  
G/B 
know God  
Am

It’s be
F 
yond my mind, only  
C 
God 
 
 
G/B 
knows 
 
 
Am

And  
F 
that’s good e
G 
nough, for

me.

Verse 2:

C 
Why must I watch someone  
G 
I love so
F 
whither and die, be
C 
fore growing  
G 
old,
C 
Why must a mother lose  
G 
her pride and joy
 
And a  
F 
daddy say good-bye, to  
C 
his little  
G 
boy
 
I don’t  
F 
know I only know that its  
C 
so
 
I don’t  
F 
mean to question God with things I’m  
C 
not meant to  
G 
know
 
For my  
F 
trust is still in Him a
C 
lone
F 
Knowing God is still on His  
G 
throne

Am 
why,
 
And

that’s good e
G
