When troubles are all around,
My eyes are filled with pain,
My heart aches with sadness,
As the tears fall like rain,
But then I heard,
A voice say to me,
Don't lean on your own understanding.
Chorus:
He says look to me,
My ways are higher,
Look to me,
I can make your days brighter,
Have a much better plan,
Then you could ever dream,
Just don't lean on your own understanding.
Just close your eyes,
To the things that are around,
And know they are not of me,
I said in my word,
To just lean on me,
And not on your own understanding. (chorus again)
Have faith my child,
I will be there till the end,
Just lean on me,
And give me your hand,
When you look around,
You will see all the pain,
Look to me my child,
I'm throwing you the ring. (chorus again)
I'll get you out,
Just look to me,
And not on your own understanding,
I said look to me,
And you will see,
That my ways are much better for thee. (chorus again)
