🎸 Verse:

G+G        D7D7    G+G
I passed a home the other day
       C majorC          G+G
The yard was filled with kids at play
      C majorC        G+G
And on the sidewalk of this home
     D7D7      G+G
A augmentedA little boy stood all alone


         D7D7      G+G
His smiling face was sweet and kind
      C majorC        G+G
But I could see the boy was blind
      C majorC        G+G
He listened to the children play
      D7D7        G+G
I bowed my head and there I prayed

     C majorC     FF     C majorC
Dear Lord above why must this be
        G+G
And then these words came down to me
   C majorC         G+G
After all you're just a man
         D7D7     G+G
And it's not for you to understand

       C majorC   FF   C majorC
It's not for you to reason why
      G+G
You too are blind without my eyes
      C majorC     G+G
So question not what I command
          D7D7     G+G
Cause it's not for you to understand

        D7D7      G+G
Now when I pray my prayer is one
      C majorC        G+G
I pray His will not mine be done
   C majorC       G+G
After all I'm just a man
         D7D7     G+G
And it's not for me to understand
