[Verse 1]
           G         D     G     G7
I passed a home, the other day
             C                    G    G7
The yard was filled, with kids at play
           C                 G
And on the side-walk of this home
         D               G
A little boy, stood all alone
                      D         G     G7
His smiling face, was sweet and kind
            C                G      G7
But I could see, the boy was blind
            C                G
He listened to, the children play
           D                 G       G7
I bowed my head, and there I prayed


[Chorus]
           C         F         C
Dear Lord above, why must this be
             G      C            G    G7
And in these words, came down to me
      C                  G
After all, you’re just a man
             D            G      G7
It’s not for you, to understand
             C       F      C
It’s not for you, to reason why
            G         C       G     G7
You too are blind, without my eyes
             C              G
So, question not, what I command
             D            G
It’s not for you, to understand

[Verse 2]
           G        D          G    G7
Now when I pray, my prayer has won
           C                 G     G7
I pray His will, not mine be done
      C               G
After all, I’m just a man
                 D           G      G7
And it’s not for me, to understand


[Chorus]
           C         F         C
Dear Lord above, why must this be
             G      C            G   G7
And in these words, came down to me
      C                  G
After all, you’re just a man
             D            G      G7
It’s not for you, to understand
             C       F      C
It’s not for you, to reason why
            G          C      G     G7
You too are blind, without my eyes
             C              G
So, question not, what I command
             D            G
It’s not for you, to understand
