🎸 Verse:

G               D7        G
I passed a home the other day
             C                   G
The yard was filled with kids at play
           C                G
And on the sidewalk of this home
         D7            G
A little boy stood all alone


                 D7            G
His smiling face was sweet and kind
            C               G
But I could see the boy was blind
            C               G
He listened to the children play
           D7               G
I bowed my head and there I prayed

          C         F         C
Dear Lord above why must this be
               G
And then these words came down to me
      C                 G
After all you're just a man
                 D7          G
And it's not for you to understand

             C      F      C
It's not for you to reason why
            G
You too are blind without my eyes
            C          G
So question not what I command
                   D7          G
Cause it's not for you to understand

                D7           G
Now when I pray my prayer is one
           C                G
I pray His will not mine be done
      C              G
After all I'm just a man
                 D7         G
And it's not for me to understand
