[D] I
[G] [G]
passed a home the [D] other day.
The yard [C] was filled with kids at [G] play.
And on the [C] side walk of this [G] home,
A little [D] boy stood all [G] alone.
His smiling face was sweet and kind.
But I [C] could see the boy [G] was blind.
He [C] listened to the [G] children play.
I bowed [D] my head and [G] there I prayed,
Dear Lord [C] above, why [F] must [C] this be?
And then these [G] words came down to me,
After [C] all, you're just a [G] man,
And it's not for [D] you to [G] understand.
It's not [C] for you to reason why
You too are [G] blind without my eye.
[G] So [C] question not what I [G] command,
For it's not [D] for you [D]
to [G] understand.
[D]
[G]
Now when I pray, my prayer is one.
I pray [C] his will, not mine [G] be done.
[A] After [C] all, I'm just [G] a man,
And it's not [D] for me to [G] understand.
[G] [G]
passed a home the [D] other day.
The yard [C] was filled with kids at [G] play.
And on the [C] side walk of this [G] home,
A little [D] boy stood all [G] alone.

But I [C] could see the boy [G] was blind.

And then these [G] words came down to me,
After [C] all, you're just a [G] man,
And it's not for [D] you to [G] understand.
It's not [C] for you to reason why
You too are [G] blind without my eye.
[G] So [C] question not what I [G] command,
For it's not [D] for you [D]
