Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right - Matt Merker

00:00 / 00:00

Whate’er my God ordains is right,

His holy will abideth;

I will be still whate’er He does,

And follow where He guideth.

He is my God, though dark my road;

He holds me that I shall not fall;

And so to Him I leave it all,

And so to Him I leave it all.

Whate’er my God ordains is right,

He never will deceive me;

He leads me by the proper path,

I know He will not leave me.

I take, content, what He has sent;

His hand can turn my griefs away;

And patiently I wait His day,

And patiently I wait His day.

Whate’er my God ordains is right,

Though now this cup in drinking

May bitter seem to my faint heart,

I take it all, unshrinking.

My God is true, each morn anew

Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart;

And pain and sorrow shall depart,

And pain and sorrow shall depart.

Whate’er my God ordains is right,

Here shall my stand be taken;

Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,

Yet I am not forsaken.

My Father’s care is round me there;

He holds me that I shall not fall;

And so to Him I leave it all,

And so to Him I leave it all.
