Trials we face,
and often don’t understand the Lord’s ways,
when He wishes for us to reach heaven.
His children He guides here, through sorrows and troubles.
We understand His ways better up there.

Up there, the morning breaks,
and at home, the saints gather.
We will then share about our journey here.
We understand His ways better up there.

Here we feel lack and need,
often missing help and support,
tired souls hunger, thirst,
during this desert journey here.
But we trust in the Lord God,
rely completely on His word.
We understand His ways better up there.

The tempter lays out traps,
snares on our life’s path,
the heart cries for every empty word
and thoughtless deed here,
and in the furnace of trials,
it’s not easy to stay calm.
We understand His ways better up there.
