Trust His Heart

This afternoon we attended the memorial service for Loren. It was strange to have a service for him, while his family is still in the US. But I think it was good for us to have this chance to process, share, grieve, and remember as a community. I brought my pack of tissues, expecting lots of tears, but really...there were so many wonderful memories shared of Loren that brought lots of smiles and laughter. It was good. 

Of course the song at the end had me choked up. Here are the words:

All things work for our good 

Though sometimes we don't see how they could

Struggles that break our hearts in two 

Sometimes blind us to the truth

Our Father knows what best for us

His ways are not our own

So when your pathway grows dim 

And you just don't see Him 

Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken 

God is too good to be unkind 

So when you don't understand 

When you don't see His plan 

When you can't trace His hand 

Trust His heart

Trust His heart

He sees the master plan 

And He holds our future in His hand 

So don't live as those who have no hope 

All our hope is found in Him 

We see the present clearly 

But He sees the first and the last 

And like a tapestry 

He's weaving you and me 

To someday be just like Him 

God is too wise to be mistaken 

God is too good to be unkind 

So when you don't understand 

When you don't see His plan 

When you can't trace His hand 

Trust His heart

Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true 

He alone knows what is best for you

God is too wise to be mistaken 

God is too good to be unkind 

So when you don't understand 

When you don't see His plan 

When you can't trace His hand 

Trust His heart

Trust His heart

When you don't understand 

When you don't see His plan 

When you can't trace His hand 

Trust His heart

Trust His heart
