We just can't know what lies ahead,

From day to passing day;

What changes God is planning,

In His wise and loving way.

We just can’t know the reason,

Why our sorrow has to be;

We too must lose someone we need,

And love so specially.

We just can't know what lies ahead,

But help us to find;

Our ways to those tomorrows,

That will bring us peace of mind.
