Maybe I could understand

How you called the darkness light

Maybe I could understand

How you made the waters flee

Maybe I could understand

How you gave all creation life

I'm an educated man

It's not too hard for me to see

But there's something about you

That confuses me yet

First you forgive

Then you forget

How do Lord?

Oh do, Lord, tell me

How do you do that?

How do you do that?

It's not too hard for me to see

How you stilled the raging water

Not too hard for me to see

How you walked on it like the land

It's not too hard for me to see

How you woke the sleeping daughter

I'm holding my degree

Think maybe I could understand

And I've known your forgiveness

For each and all of my days

But the way you've forgotten

Leaves me truly amazed

How do Lord?

Oh do, Lord, tell me

How do you do that?

How do you do that?

You know the hairs on my head

Yeah, you've named every star

But I'm bowing on my knee

At how forgetful you are

You forgive, you forget

You forgive then you forget...
