_ [F#m] _ Cooper's life was filled with sadness, _ [G] loss, and heartache.
[D] _ [A] He was driven mad by depression and [G] thoughts of suicide, [D] which led to being admitted into
an Essayn asylum.
_ And yet God [A] worked in ways that no human could [B] ever see. _ _
Because [F#m] of his [D] depression, Cooper discovered his [G] love for poetry.
_ _ [D] _ Even being admitted into [A] the Essayn asylum _ was part of God's plan.
_ [Bm] This is where he met a doctor [A] that introduced him to [D] God's Word [G] and the Gospel.
_ _ _ [D] Cooper left the asylum, [F#m] and this [Em] is when he met his best friend, _ John Newton.

Newton encouraged [D] Cooper's love for poetry and asked for him to help _ write a hymnal.
[A] _
_ Cooper [F#m] compiled [B]
his confusion, _ despair, [D] and sadness into a poem.
_ [G] God Moves [D] in a Mysterious Way _ _

_ [D] His purpose will ripen fast, _ _ unfolding _ [G] every hour.
