When my way seems dark and drear

And the future I don’t know

My heart feels so empty as the tears unending flow

When my heart breaks with sorrow

And a tempest fills my soul

This one thing I know for sure: my God is in control

His way is perfect, His way is perfect

Though I don’t understand His wise and loving plan

His way is perfect, His way is perfect

Take my life and make a vessel purified

God makes no mistakes, His way is best

When the toils of life are come

And my heart is worn with care

I faint ’neath the burden of a cross I cannot bear

When the joy has departed from my sorrow stricken soul

This one thing I know for sure: my God is in control
