When you wonder why..

I'm thankful for the bitter things, they've been a friend to grace.

They've driven me from paths of ease to storm the secret place.

I thank Him for the friends who failed to fill my heart's deep need;

They've led me to the Saviour's feet, upon His love to feed.

I'm grateful too, through all life's way, no one could satisfy;

And so I've found in Christ alone my rich, my full supply.
