I am not skilled to understand

		8.8.8.7.

1	I am not skilled to understand 
	What God hath will’d, what God hath planned; 
	I only know at His right hand 
	Stands one who is my Saviour. 

2	I take Him at His word indeed; 
	"Christ died for sinners," this I read; 
	For in my heart I find a need 
	Of Him to be my Saviour.

3	That He should leave His place on high 
	And come for sinful man to die. 
	You count it strange? - so do not I, 
	Before I knew my Saviour. 

4	And Oh, that He fulfilled may see 
	The travail of His soul in me, 
	And with His work contented be, 
	As I with my dear Saviour. 

5	Yea, living, dying, let me bring 
	My strength, my solace, from this spring, 
	That He who lives to be my King 
	Once died to be my Saviour.
