Some Day We'll Understand
By Milo D. Warfle
THE things that seem to us so queer,
That blight our hopes and cause us fear,
That separate from things held dear,
Some day we'll understand. The pains we have along the road,
The crushing weight, the heavy load,
The cruel thrust of Satan's goad,
Some day we'll understand. Why cruel death may take our friends
Who try to work as God intends,
Through whom our God His message sends,
Some day we'll understand. While here, we do not fully know
Just why we are afflicted so;
But when to heaven's courts we go,
We'll fully understand. The depths of love that to us call,
That keep us lest in sin we fall,
That safely guide us through it all,
He'll help us understand. Yes, when to the new earth we go,
All free from sin and every wo,
We'll ever study, learn, and grow,
And then we'll understand.
