I Cannot Understand

I Cannot Understand

by Joshua Coffman


I Cannot Understand

How one so small as I,

Could be so wonderful to Him

Who came to earth to die.


I cannot understand

Why He did love me so;

He bled, and died, and rose again,

His wondrous grace to show.


I cannot understand

The mercy shown to me

When all my sins He washed away,

By dying on the tree.


I cannot understand

The power that He holds.

From Him comes breath, and life, and death;

It is my life He molds.


I cannot understand

That someday I shall be

In Heaven walking streets of gold

With Jesus, eternally.
