Unexpected Turns

A frightened puzzled child
A shallow, empty smile
Questions yet unspoken
Answers hard to learn
A fervent prayer arose
The faintest ray of hope
But then the doctor's news came
An unexpected turn

But I know You see his suffering
I know You hear his brokenhearted cry
Let him know Your heart won't change
Let him know Your love's the same
Even after unexpected turns

A tender, godly man
A heart to know Your plan
A woman called beside him
To share his life, to serve
But now her love has died
Their vows were thrown aside
He never thought she'd leave him
An unexpected turn

But I know You see his suffering
I know You hear his brokenhearted cry
Let him know Your heart won't change
Let him know Your love's the same
Even after unexpected turns

The rain falls on the just
And on the godless man
Each one will drink a bitter cup someday
But You have offered refuge
A place to dwell secure
You're waiting there
To show You care

And I know You see our suffering
I know You hear our brokenhearted cries
Let us know Your heart won't change
Let us know Your love's the same
Even after unexpected turns
Even after unexpected turns
Help us walk through unexpected turns
