All I need to know

God, why does it have to be so hard?

Forgive me for asking

I know you're the potter

And that's okay!

. . . But I just wish I

Didn't have to be the clay

Oh please tell me

Tell me there's another way

There was never a hard road I walked

and didn't stop and enjoy the view

stop and talk to you

I thought we were doing alright

There was never a night I cried out

and you didn't bend low to hear

fight the demons of doubt and fear

But I didn't know it at the time

Yeah, I've tried to write books but never got too far

only a page or two and then I'd just sit and talk to you

And we'd stay up all night and

I would ask all those silly questions you never answered

Thanks for listening

This is Abraham's Isaac, this is Isaac's Gerar

This is Jacob's ladder, this is Leah's weeping

This Israel's new name, and his wrestling

This is Joseph's dream and the call of Moses

Do not fear, oh Joshua!

Cling to your redeemer, oh Ruth!

Listen to me, oh Samuel, Samuel!

Remember the anointing, oh David!

Listen to your father's words, oh Solomon! Do not neglect your father's teaching

It is life . . .it is bread . . . it is water . . . it is honey.

Ezra cries out to rebuild

Nehemiah weeps at the destruction

Esther realizes she has come to "this hour"

Job worships in his darkest day

Isaiah saw the Lord and fell prostrate

Jeremiah faced the scorn of the people yet

"His mercies never come to an end!

They are NEW every morning!

GREAT is your faithfulness!"

What did you see, Ezekiel? What did you know, Daniel?

How did you love, Hosea?

Did you tremble, oh prophets?

I know why John leapt

I know why Mary marveled

I know why the wise men worshiped

And I know that you are my King

I cannot understand how you loved the woman at the well

I cannot understand how you caused the blind to see

I cannot understand how you sweat drops of blood

I cannot understand how you let them curse you

But I know that you are my King

I do not know where this road will lead me

I do not know what you're trying to say

I do not know what you want me to learn

But I know that you are my King

And that's all I really need to know
