It puzzles me, but, LORD, thou understandest,
And wilt one day explain this crooked thing.
Meanwhile, I know it has worked out Thy best-
It's very crookedness taught me to cling.
Thou hast fenced up my ways, made my paths crooked,
To keep my wand'ring eyes fixed on Thee;
To make me what I was not – humble, patient –
To draw my heart from earthly love to thee.
Sow ill I thank and praise Thee for his puzzle,
And trust where I can not understand,
Rejoicing Thou dost hold me worth such testing,
I cling the closer to Thy guiding hand. .~ F.E.M.I. - From "Streams in the Desert" by Cowman
