10. Lord (I Don't Know)

 

You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
or how it all works out
lead me to peace that is past understanding
a peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
turning the darkness to dawn
lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
or how it all works out
lead me to peace that is past understanding
a peace beyond all doubt

Bridge
oh, Lord, you are the author
redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
and all that is to come
(oh, Lord, you are the author
redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
and all that is to come)

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
or how it all works out
lead us to peace that is past understanding
a peace beyond all doubt
Lord, we don't know where all this is going
or how it all works out
lead us to peace that is past understanding
a peace beyond all doubt
Lord, we don't know where all this is going
or how it all works out
lead us to peace that is past understanding
a peace beyond all doubt

Peter Furler's comment:
BOOK: ''The Seven Storey Mountain'' by Thomas Merton»This one was around for quite a while. I've got about three chords that -whenever I pick up a guitar - I play. The first is E minor, then G and then D. Those are the first three chords of this song. Musically it sort of tips its hat back to "Lost The Plot," with a bit more of a commercial feel. It didn't feel alien to me. It's definitely a rock song, and it felt like something we had done before. One of my proudest moments recording was "Lost The BOOK: ''The Intimate Merton'' by Thomas MertonPlot" off Take Me To Your Leader. I wanted to make this one a great song, and it is one of the favorites in our club. I had just finished reading Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Then I read The Intimate Merton by him right after it. The song says, "I don't even know if I'm on the right path, but I want to please You." And it is our desire to please Him that is what pleases him, and that desire itself comes from Him. I thought it was a great way to finish off the record because it is saying that I don't have the answers. I've learned, even in the last few weeks, that's it's OK to just say, "I don't know." We feel pressure to defend our faith and to stand up for certain things and I think sometimes there's nothing wrong with admitting we don't know all the time.«
